Hi,

I am using Robo Help 7 for generating Help pages. I have to import a wrod document an publish it as online web help html document. I have query as to how added header and footer be configured to reflect on each and every page. I am using Robohelp for first time and tried various options, but am unable to get the above done.

Thanks,

Pallavi

Hi Pallavi.

The easiest way to do this would be to create a template file that you can assign to your RH topics. In RH7 I think you set these up in the Project Set-Up pod (sorry but I don't have access to that version). They are still called templates I think in RH7 as they were renamed Master Pages in RH8. If you right click on that folder you can create a new template file. This opens in a tab in which you can specify the header and footer you want. Then just go into the topic properties and assign that template.

Hi,

Thanks for the input. I tried doing as said. I ll describe in detail the steps I had taken:

1. Create new Web Help pro Project.

2. In the Project Set up view, create new template, add the header and footer and save it.

3. Create a New topic throuhg the template and in the Properties section, assign it to the template file created.

4. Through the Project manager pod, right click on Topic created, and Import Word document.

5. Generate the output through Web Help Pro.

The generated output shows only the Topic Htm with Header and Footer first, and then topics created do not have the header and Footer. Do I need to assign the template to every topic created after inporting the Word document? I tried doing that as well, but no success.

Let me know if I need to do anything different.

Thanks,

Pallavi

Hi Pallavi.

You do indeed need to assign the template file to your RH topics after you have imported them. When you say you've had no success, can you give us some more detail of what is happening? Is the template being assigned to each topic? Does a topic preview display the template correctly?
