I'm trying to use Robohelp 9 and have many problems. One of the most time consuming is the WYSIWYG editor. Changes in the editor are not correctly reflected when I preview. I spend half my time making tiny changes and previewing until I get the results I want.
Another problem is the styles... I apply a predefined style (normal) and either nothing changes or only part of the selected text changes... I've been using this product since Robo3 and can't really say it's improved.
I would pay double the cost if Micosoft would build a tool like Robohelp based on the consistant functionality of Word.

There is not enough detail in your post to help us even start. If you give us some screenshots and details of the problem maybe we can help. Use the camera icon to insert screenshots.
If things were as bad as you describe, I wonder how Adobe manage to keep selling the product as there are alternatives.

I understand that this was not coded by Adobe originally, but their name is on it now and it's not up to par with the other outstanding products they produce.
As you can see, the table column widths in this example are not even close to the same in the preview.

One question, have you selected the columns and applied a width setting to them?
If you have, would you be willing to import that topic into a new project, check that it has the same problem, and then send it to me?
Details are on my site. I cannot look at it this evening but will do so probably tomorrow.
