How do I include Word header and footer instead of Robohelp's?

Report · Jan 29, 2015

I have a Word document that my Marketing department gave me, which was adjusted with a few things to make the output Word/PDF document prettier.

I expected it to just work, honestly... but when I used it as a template, I can plainly see that only the document's styles are used, none of the actual contents.I found a way to insert the 2 header pages, thankfully, so at least I got that going for me.

However, the document I was provided has a Header and Footer (the ones you get when double-clicking at the top or bottom of a page). Is there a way to reproduce this easily or do I have to use a master page and some CSS and absolute positioning?

Sorry for the slow reply, I missed this one.

You haven't included the version of Rh that you are using. Please see the Sticky Topics and always include that.

Printed documentation generally is described on my site. The method changed in Rh11 and that is described in the RoboHelp Tour on my site.

Hi Peter,

It's RH11 so, as far as I can see from the RoboHelp Tour page, I was right. It's Master Pages that I have to use.

Thanks.
