Question

Saving changes

I'm working with RH8. I notice

d today as I was making edits that the Save does not always work, or at least the asterisk will not disappear after I select Save All and the Save is greyed out at the same time. I elected to close the topic and when I reopened it, the edits I made were there so I believe they were saved. Anyone know why this is happening?

    I noticed the same thing happen today in RoboHelp 9 that luviola10 did in RoboHelp 8.

    I Saved All and the * still showed on the topic tabs. The changes were saved, so it may be a bug.

    Hi Randi,

    so it's a bug that they did not fix in rh9...interesting. thanks for letting

    me know because from the other comment I received saying the person had

    never seen it, I feel that I'm not crazy.

    Please read my replies. I did not say that I had never seen RoboHelp fail to clear the asterisk, what I said was that I had never known it to fail to save the changes. Save All always works but it might fail to clear the asterisks.

    I think it is a bug. I have never known Word not to save if Save All is clicked. If it didn't save you would get prompted when you close the topic.

    Maybe I misstated. I meant "Robohelp" would not save. when I closed the

    topic, it did not prompt me.

    I didn't misunderstand you. What I was getting at is if you had any doubts about whether or not RoboHelp had saved because the asterisk was still showing, RoboHelp prompts for unsaved changes when you close a topic or the project. Thus if it did fail to save when clicking Save All it would still prompt you later but, as stated, I have never known Save All to fail.
