Question

RH 2019 - cannot resize topic windows

I have been using RH for years and had to upgrade to RH 2019...not of my choice.  Is there any way other than changing the display properties on my laptop to resize the topic windows (panels)?  The cursor does have the edge grabs but when I drag to resize nothing happens.  Thank you.

If you mean where I have shown, you can make the topic panel narrower by stretching the grey areas left and right. You can't make it narrower then a predetermined size but you can hide both panels.

It's worth taking a look at the sample project RoboHelp Reimagined as that has a lot of information about using this new version.

Post edited to clarify which panels can be stretched.

Thanks but my issue was re: expanding the windows not making them

narrow....cursor changes but can't resize. Tech support said it's my

display settings.

My previous post was wrong. I can make the topic area narrower, not wider by dragging. As I originally indicated, there is a limit to how wide the content area can be made without hiding panels.

Just how narrow is the area you are seeing as it's not something I have seen anyone else comment on. Can you post a screenshot?
