Question

Bad text box format in linked doc

RoboHelp HTML v.11

I have a linked Word document in my project. The document includes text boxes and callouts for graphics. In many cases, the text in these boxes become bold (or at least heavier and darker) when they appear in the RH project. I've tried changing the style, font, and font size, but they still come out bold.

Any ideas?

I hope "bumping" isn't against the rules on this forum, but I really need an answer. Does anyone know what the issues are when using text boxes in a Word document which is linked to the RoboHelp project?

I just ran a quick test and the text box got converted to an image. Are you sure that is not what you are seeing?

There are settings you can control but this isn't one of them. See

Importing & Linking on my site. Think of it as putting diesel into a petrol

(gas) car.


Of course I've already seen your site, Peter. Who in their right mind would tackle something like linking without your advice?

I confess, though, I saw nothing about how graphics or text boxes would be converted in the process. If you could point me to it..?

Not a Word feature I use but I think you will find that text boxes do give problems in HTML. Hopefully someone with more knowledge of this will come along.
