What is the deal with my word spacing being very WIDE?

[Guest]

I have TCS2 with Frame9 and RoboHelp8. I linked my Frame doc in RH and the word spacing is so wide. I used the preview and it still is strange looking. The css has word spacing at 0.25em so that seems right. Does anyone have a clue what is going on?

Thanks

Hi.

I have been wrestling with the exact same problem. My fix so far has been to define an RH style for every FM style where there is a problem--bar none. I also entered several bug reports and wrote to Adobe separately about this problem. It seems to me that since RH is being marketed as "the" transformative interface for FM documents, it should natively support any and all FM out-of-the-box structures, including word spacing, kerning, and autonumbering. I have found it necessary to abandon all of FM's autonumbering building blocks because RH does not transform them correctly.

Hope this helps...

I am sorely disappointed with the TCS2. I am almost ready to abandon the linking idea and going for double-sourcing! Adobe's help system is NO HELP. I am amazed that a company that produces help authoring software is so lax in that software's help system. I feel like my company spent two grand on a door stop.

I genuinely hope that Adobe is listening to its customers who are voicing such dissatisfaction with their publishing investments. It's not just about Adobe's raking-in short-term profits, it's about producing world-class software that performs as billed under real-world, competitive conditions.

Adobe only listens if you know the ear to speak into!

This is known as the Wish Form or the Bug Report.

Sorry but they do not monitor all posts. The moderators sometimes bring things to their attention and sometimes they do monitor, but don't rely on it.
