Anyone have any problems with their FlashHelp Project displaying in different font sizes?

[Brit159]

I have created a Help Project with FlashHelp as the layout.  All topics were created in the same font and font size.  However, when this generated layout displays some topics appear in a much larger font.  Also some topics are displaying with mixed font size.  Any ideas on what is causing this?

I'm having the same problem. Have you heard from any of the Robo experts about this?

Hi all

The first usual suspect to check is to ensure your style sheet is properly attached and being used. Following that, double check to ensure there aren't any inline styles that may be overriding what the external or linked CSS specifies. I'd be doubtful that's the case, however, as it would seem that you are only noticing a difference in output. If you had inline styling you would see it on the source side as well.

Rick,

I discovered something very strange.  I made sure that I attached the fmstyles.css to all of my topics, but when I do an update, all of my topics revert to their original stylesheet.  (I added FM books by reference, so there is a stylesheet for every chapter - how awful.)

How do I attach the fmstyles.css and make it stick?

Hi there

From inside RoboHelp HTML you are able to select all the HTML pages, then right-click them and choose Properties. From the Properties dialog you may associate the Style Sheet. If you have RoboHelp 8, when you generate the WebHelp layout you have an option in the layout recipe to choose a specific style sheet to use.

Cheers... Rick

Rick,

I have done as you suggested and selected all topics, right-clicked and selected Properties, and assigned fmstyles.css to all of them. Then, if I update, they immediately revert back to their chapter .css's. Is there any way to permanently attach fmstyles.css so it doesn't disappear when I update.

I'm using RH7 in TechComm Suite 1, and adding FM books. When you add FM books, you also add individual .css for each chapter. These are the .css that I want to ignore and use the fmstyle.css instead. But when updating, these chapter .css files replace the fmstyles.css.

Hi Mary

Unfortunately I'm unaware of a way to prevent that from occurring. That's the bad news. The good news is that it's pretty painless and quick to re-associate all the topics to the single CSS.
