inherited styles

Report · Mar 30, 2009

One of our technical writers copied a topic from MS Word 2007 into our RoboHelp 7 project. Now all of our heading styles (Heading 1, Heading 2, etc.) are grayed-out and unavailable. When you open a topic the heading text is in white and the only way to view it is to highlight it. When clicking on one of the heading styles it says that the heading is inherited. I looked in the default.css file and everything looks fine. I went to create new heading styles and RoboHelp reverts back to the inherited style. How do we get back to our original default.css file? We are also using RoboSource to control our project.

Thanks.

Bill

Hi Bill.
The chances are that when you imported the Word doc a style sheet with the same file name was brought in with it. If you check your topic properties you'll probably find a wordfilename.css style sheet attached to it. If you change this back to your default.css style sheet you should be OK.
