Shifted images

Question

I explain the problem:- 4 years ago I created a manual with FrameMaker (may be FM10, I don't remember) and created on-line help with RoboHelp.- 2 weeks ago, I needed to upgrade the manual and have added some parts with FrameMaker2015. Similarly, I imported this manual to RoboHelp2015 as a new project (I have changed my computer). The results was very strange: The new chapter located at the beginning of the manual was very fine and some old parts was fine too up to a specific line highlighted in green in the RoboHelp project. The figure1 shows the frontier: above the text and figures are not highlighted in green color and the text/figures are perfect: see figure2. All the manual below this frontier has some problems with images: they are shifted to the right, see figure 3. I have made the test by copying in fm the text with problem images to the beginning of the manual where no problem appears: in RH the results are the figure 2 and figure 3.It seems that conditional tag are present, but I cannot remove them. More precisely: if I remove them in RH, each time I update the manual from FM, the conditional are back. In the FrameMaker manual, I have no code, no tag at this place (green frontier).Yesterday, I upgraded to TCS2017 and I have exactly the same problems: no change.Could you help me please

Yes but, I cannot imagine do this on a 100 pages manual with many graphics, tables, paragraph labels ...

Luckily, I solved the problem like this:

From FrameMaker, I deleted the text/table (about 4 lines) where the transition with hidden conditioning tag activates problems in Robohelp.
From Framemaker, I recreated the delete text/table by hand.
From RoboHelp, I regenerated the document.

That's all and it works fine!!!! All the document is perfect!

Hi, Sorry this might seem obvious, but have you accepted all revision marks in the ENTIRE book (vs individual chapter).

if I were you, I would try linked FM book in RH ( vs imported)

I work with linked FM books and I always do all of the conditionalizing in FM (vs RH). I want to avoid post-processing in RH, and have one set of source files that I can output in diff formats without any adjustments in RH (except for specifying the properties of the output once)
