Question

Headers and Footers Missing in Printed Output

I accept the fact that I can't specify the headers and footers that RH9 directly creates when generating a Word document. Now I have the opposite problem as they aren't created at all in my Word output. Any idea as to how I can get RH9 to generate these again?

Peter, thanks for your questions. They prompted me to run several tests, all using my existing project.  With the first 7 tests, I saved my output to a server location, all with the same results, no matter if I used styles from a stylesheet or MS Word template.

In my last test, #8, which was exactly the same as #7 except I saved the output to my desktop, the headers/footers appeared!

Does that make sense?  I don't think I've resolved the source of my problem, but at least it will allow me to continue with my project.  If you want to troublshoot/explore this more, I can provide you with more info.

Thanks again for your help with this.  I have another question about hotspot formatting remaining in my Word document, but will start a new thread for that one.

Hi Ellen

Can you describe or post a screen shot of what you are seeing? This isn't making much sense.

Cheers... Rick

Rick, not sure what screen shot you want or what I need to further describe. I'll be glad to do this, but don't quite understand what you are wanting.


Hello again

Well, you said you got one result off a server. I was thinking it would be a screen capture showing what the page looked like when you did it this way. And another screen capture showing what it looked like when local. And probably a third screen capture showing what the topic looked like in RoboHelp.

Cheers... Rick

Well that's a first!

What are you mapping to, a CSS file or a Word template and if the latter, what template?

Where are you generating to, a local drive or a network path?

Does this happen in other projects? If necessary create a new single topic project or use one of the samples. Click Open on the RoboHelp Starter page and then click Samples in the ribbon on the left.
