Question

In WebHelp, when I mouse over a link, the font size changes.

Either after I generate to WebHelp or View in RoboHelp, when I mouse over a hyperlink text, the font changes from large to small text. My step is a 11pt font, my body text is 10pt. It appears the 11 pt. font switches to 10pt font when I mouse over it. Any way to fix this?

Also noticed that when I have a note at 9 pt, and mouse over a link, the text changes to 10pt.

So now it appears in most of my topics with links within a step or note. In a body, the text appears fine (or stays the same) when you mouse over a link.

This sounds like you have a style that is set to 10pt for hyperlinks. What version of Robohelp are you using?

Thanks, I did check the style sheet and (hyper)link is set to 10.

P.Link {

    font-size: 10pt;

    margin-top: 4.5pt;

    margin-bottom: 4.5pt;

    font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;

The only thing is if I change it, say to 11. It would be wrong for body text or note text. So would I have to create several hyperlink styles. For example P.BodyLink = 10 pt, P.StepsLink = 11 pt, P.NotesLink = 9 pt?

But when applying tags say for a Numbered list (steps), how would it know to use the P.StepsLink?

Sorry, I am new to RoboHelp (contracting). I was a 20+ year user of Frame/WebHelps and didn't deal with templates at all!


I don't believe you are 60!

The changes that Colum mentions are not in Rh9. Take a look at Item 5 at http://www.grainge.org/pages/snippets/snippets.htm#content
