Drop Down Text Effects

Hi there.

I'm created topics currently that have drop down text effects in them.

Basically, I have a title which has got a little image next to it (a plus expand sign image).

When you click either the image of the title text, the drop down text appears as intended.

Is there anyway I can get it, so that when you click either the text or the image, the image changes to be a minimise image?

The screenshots below demonstrate what I mean a bit clearer.

Thanks very much,


Craig

    Hi there

    If you are using RoboHelp 8, you can edit your style sheet to include "Twisty" images that do this.

    If you are using an earlier version of RoboHelp, fellow Community Professional Peter Grainge has info on his site at the link below.

    Thanks for the quick reply.

    Do they work in CHM files?

    Nope!

    It doesn't work when I view the CHM file properly, but when I preview the topic its ok.


    Any ideas?


    Thanks


    Hi Craig

    Were you sure to add the images to the list of Baggage Files as I suggested? If you didn't do this, the images aren't included in the CHM.

    You might ask why. usually images for things like this are referenced using scripts. Because they aren't used in topics as plain topic images, RoboHelp is unaware of them and needs to be explicitly told to include them. That's what Baggage is for.

    Cheers... Rick
