RoboHelp 8 Issues

[robm44]

I recently upgraded my version of RoboHelp from version X5 to version 8. Although everything seemed to work fine when i was trialling the software on a copy of my project now that i have migrated the project to RoboHelp 8 i am having a few issues. The only thing that has really changed is that i am now using Visual SourceSafe in conjunction with RoboHelp but i never had problems with this setup when using X5.

Anyway my two issues are as follows:

1. If i align an image to the centre using the justify icon, the image does what i want in the topic view but remains aligned to the left in both preview mode and once i have generated the topics. Have tried playing about with the image settings, text wrapping etc but still no joy.

2. My other issue is that i previously had a number of styles that used specific images as buullet points. However there is now no way i can add these images as bullet styles in the style editor screen. Am i able to change this for styles, as it is currently very annoying when i apply these bullet styles to text. They automatically default to using numbering.

Any advice on these issues would be much appreciated.

I don't know if this helps you, but my alignment problem was not related to a bug in RH8. It was caused by my style sheet that I created in RHX5 was not compatible with RH8. I had to create a new style sheet (on the Project Manager tab) and then change to the new style sheet on all of my topics and reapplied the styles and created new ones when necessary. I have found that using the formatting buttons (i.e., center align) seems to cause some problems. I try to avoid them now and create styles to get my content where I want it. I have also solved some of my alignment problems by going into the HTML code to find and remove unnecessary tags.

Hope this helps.
