Question

RH9: Can't create a new RoboHelp Style for tables

I'm using TCS3 (FM 10, RH9) in a Windows XP environment.

I have some tables in FM10 that I want to map to a RH style.  I'm on the Conversion Settings dialog box, and don't have a RH style to map to.  In RH7 I was able to create a new RH style and then map my FM style to it.  I don't see where that is possible in RH9.

Thanks in advance for your help.

Open a topic In RoboHelp and go to Tables > Insert > Table.

You will be offered a variety of ready designed tables, choose the nearest to what you want.

That table will now be in the Style Pod so that you can edit it to your exact requirements.

I am assuming that table will then be available to you to map to when you import / link to FM.

Peter,

I did exactly as you said and created a topic and inserted a table and then customized it to look exactly as it does in FM.  I called them both MultiColumn. However, when I did a Force Update I didn't get a table.  In fact, when looking at the HTML, there isn't even any code for a table.  However, in FM there is very clearly a two-column table with a heading.

Any other ideas?

How could that be? If you've tinkered with your linked project until you are happy with everything, exporting the .isf and using it in a new linked project should work fine - otherwise, what's the point in being able to export & import them?


The great mystery is solved! I had no tables because I had selected the Table Anchor to be excluded from output on the Project Settings dialog box. (Doing the happy dance and eating chocolate.)
