How do you make text static in RoboHelp?

[bluenirvash]

Hi,

I am trying to position text underneath this a banner the home page for a small help system I am working on. However, I noticed that whenever I maximize my window, the text fluctuates outside the banner width which looks funny.

I found an example to illustrate what I mean:

I wanted the home page similar to that but with text directly underneath the banner and its respective width as shown in the image above.

If someone has a solution to this, I would greatly appreciate it

Thank you!

Try creating a table with one column and one row. Then add the text to it and make the table width the same as the image.

Hi,

A table will certainly work. You can also use CSS to control the width of the content. But you need to add this css manually:

* { max-width: 1000px; }

You may need to play with the style you want to apply this to, as the above sets a maximum width for all the elements on the page. Personally, I let my headers have 100% width while the text has a maximum width, for instance:

p, div { max-width: 1000px;}

ul, ol { max-width: 970px; /* Compensate 30px left margin */ }

Greet,

Thanks guys,

I tried the table method, and it worked well. I just had to remove the table borders so the text didn't have to look like it was inside a table. I would try that CSS method too, but I have no idea how to utilize CSS yet 😕
