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.

Crikey. What screen size is that and what resolution?

I do have an older monitor...I think it's 17"...resolution is 1280 x 1024

and I do have a custom scale factor of 112%...but I can "drag" corners of

windows in all other programs....including the software for the company I

work for....to resize windows even with my odd display configuration.
