Expanding and modifying past help system

I need to take a help system that was compiled in 2004 and
modify and add to it. Would it be best to import the project and
create a new one, or to open the old one as an existing project and
add to it? I have been trying to make it work by opening the old
one and adding to it, but when I go to compile, many of the links
from the TOC are broken and I can't figure out how to fix them. On
the other hand, if I import the files into a new project, I lose
the existing TOC and all of the images. I'm trying to avoid having
to start over. I was working with Robohelp 6, but just got the
upgrade to 7 today. This did not seem to make any difference to
these issues. Any help would be most appreciated!

Hello - thanks for your response. The TOC links are only
broken after I compile. I was using Robohelp 6 and just got the
upgrade to 7 this week. The really odd thing is that in 6, after I
compile, they are missing in the final file AND they show up broken
in the Project Manager. In 7, they are missing in the final file,
but they don't appear to be broken in the Project Manager. In both
cases, it is not all of the links, just some of them (maybe 30%),
and I cannot figure out how to restore them. Since I think I have
your attention here, I have been looking for other clues, and I
think I just figured something else out: the Topic ID's for the
broken or missing ones all begin with REF. The non-broken ones
begin with PRO or where I have added new ones, neither REF or PRO.
Thanks for any light you may be able to shed! (BTW, in case
it is not completely obvious, I am a new Robohelp user.)

  • Help system error message

    Using Mac Indesign 3.0 (first version of Creative Suite), the Help system has stopped working. All I get is: "There is a problem with the Help system. Please rerun the installer." Re-installing does no good. Need help!
    No recent changes on the computer, and Photoshop's Help system still works. Using an Intel iMac with OS X 10.5.6, 2 gigs ram, ample harddrive space.

    Sure someone can. Usually guy, who would know how to turn off your computer or network firewalls. If you do know how to do that yourself, do and see if that helps.

  • Online Help System for Web Apps

    Hi all,
    Does anyone know a good and free online help system for Java webapps, I've tried Oracle Help for the Web and it's nice, except that it won't run on WebSphere v5.1 (which is a requirement).
    Thank you,

    Hi Len
    Basically it's like this. WebHelp is nothing more than a collection of HTML pages that each contain different "Topics". This means that each page has a unique URL which may be used to view it. Normally, WebHelp is presented with the surrounding frameset (also known as the Skin) and the Topic is shown in the Topic pane of the Frameset.
    What Jeff has shown is what you might get if you just link to the URL of the topic. I say *MIGHT* because whether you see the "Show" link is configurable and you can generate WebHelp where it's not factored in.
    So you have many options of linking to your help. You can link to a single topic where only that topic appears. You can link to the WebHelp generically and the end user finds their own way to the information they are looking for. You can link to a Bookmarked location inside a topic either on its own or within the frameset. And if you are using the WebHelp API, you can specify your own Window that will be used. Otherwise, your developer can create the window using their own means.
    Cheers... Rick

  • Winhelp Help system and Java

    Hello,
    Of the several products we develop, one, a Java program, uses the Java Help help system (logically). The others use a standard Winhelp help system (developed in Robohelp). Our current workflow for developing a help system for the Java program is to batch convert the Winhelp RTF files into HTML files. The problem is, most of our Winhelp formatting is either dropped or incorrectly represented in the Java help file. Also, I prefer the look and feel of a Winhelp system over Java.
    Is it possible for a Java program to be modified so that it supports a Winhelp help system and not a Java Help system? If so, how is this done, and where can one find information on the process?
    If not, what options do we have to "pretty up" the Java output from the conversion?
    Thanks!
    Todd

    Thanks for your response. Could you direct me to a resource that explains the steps for accomplishing this? I'll need to provide the development staff with instructions.
    Thanks again!

  • Working with Chinese characters: How to paste and modify them as sentences; not as individual images?

    Working with Chinese characters: How to paste and modify them as sentences; not as individual images?
    From 2004, this is so far the most detailed answer I could find: http://en.allexperts.com/q/Adobe-Illustrator-1027/FONTS-display-problem-Adobe.htm, but is this really still the most up-to date solution?
    Is it possible at all to work with Chinese characters, if I don't have the Chinese version of Illustrator? (http://www.proz.com/forum/dtp_desktop_publishing/221125-chinese_in_indesign.html)

    Thanks for your reply.
    I'm using Version 17.1.0 (64-bit) - basically CS6.
    Operating system is Windows 8.1. Installed is the simplied Chinese language package.
    I have received the text in a Word document. It contains mixed characters, something like this:
    教授资料
    学术背景：
      博士；曾于波恩大学（Rheinische Friedrich-Wilhelms-Universität Bonn）、台湾师范大学、
    I have tried to paste it in the two following ways:
    1) to create a text box and paste the text. The result is that some of the characters are not showed correctly.
    2) Paste it directly without any preparation. This result into a single "image" or group of images. I can cancel modify each character one at a time, or I can dissolve the group, but the result is the same.

  • Can't install latest version of itunes. "Errors occurred during installation. Your system has not been modified." Help?

    Can't install latest version of itunes. "Errors occurred during installation. Your system has not been modified." Help?

    I had this, and after a large number of fruitless attempts, I had to reload Windows, which solved it. This was of course a real pain, but I had to do it since updating iTunes was necessary in order to get the new iOS version. But before doing such a drastic thing, you could try to restore Windows to a previous point in time by picking a restore point. This of course presumes that you really have some issues with your Windows (which I had) and that you can make a decent guess on when the system was ok (which I couldn't), i.e that you can decide a good date to restore to.

  • My old iMac and OS 10.4 will not accept the New iTunes Version 10 application and I can't get past the screen offering to download iTunes 10.  This is wrong and I need help getting past this situation. Help!

    My old iMac and OS 10.4 will not accept the New iTunes Version 10 application and I can't get past the screen offering to download iTunes 10.  This is wrong and I need help getting past this situation. Help!

    Sure, you can get around it if you don't need the newest version of iTunes. I still use version 7.5 because the newer versions didn't strike me as offering anything I needed.
    If you do need a version 10-something then you will have to upgrade your operating system to Leopard (fi your computer will support it) at least.  If you need 10.5 for some reason then there's no getting around it, you will have to buy a new computer.

    Hi there
    I'm getting a similar problem with my Macbook Pro. itunes match was working fine until two days ago when i created another 'user id' for the laptop and then an itunes account for that user under their profile. Now i cant turn on itunes match on my itunes under my user account. Contacted Apple today who said to use the Express Lane and email the problem and they might be able to make an 'exception' on the account. Otherwise I'll have to wait 88 days to access a lot of my music on the macbook pro. itunes match is still working on the iphone 4S and ipad2.
    Can anyone help? The only thought was too re-stream the laptop. Ive already tried deauthorising the other user but it made no difference.
    Thanks
    Jules

  • I just purchased Time Capsule today.  I ONLY want to use it as an external drive.  I do not need it for Time Machine. I can see the TC in my finder, but when I click on a file or video to drag and drop, I get message that TC can't be modified. Help please

    I just purchased Time Capsule today.  I ONLY want to use it as an external drive.  I do not need it for Time Machine. I need to free up room on my computer. As of now, I can't even load updates. I can see the TC in my finder, but when I click on a file or video to drag and drop, I get message that TC can't be modified. Help please!

    I agree with Kappy.. passing files and especially via wireless is slow as slow.
    Just need to be sure your TC is the new AC model??
    And the OS on the computer is Lion?
    Have you completed the setup of the TC via the utility? You do still need to get internet via the TC so it has to be plugged into the main router..
    Give us the full picture of the network.
    Then we can help you get into it.. whether you should put your files on it is another question.

    revert back to Maverick that is what I had to finally do. This was the worst upgrade I have ever seen. Hopefully you have Time Machine backup and can revert back. It was pretty painless except for a few issues. I will wait until Apple gets their stuff together on this upgrade or may never will.

  • Slice tool help needed width expands and contracts

    I recently did a header for my website and srinks and expands
    with different screen sizes I need a bit of help to undstand how
    and why this happens.
    I built it on a 19" screen fits perfectly on the page. Then
    on the 15" I'm using now its very small leaving gaps along the
    sides
    here's the problem

    No, I don't mean that your header should be all one image.
    Currently, your header is a table with a number of images
    inside it. The width of the table is "absolute." It is set to a
    fixed number of pixels (800). It won't change. What you see as
    smaller and larger on your different monitors is a result of the
    different resolution that the two monitors have.
    The forum content, on the other hand, is in tables with
    widths that are "relative." They are are a percentage of the width
    of the browser window (81%). These tables will change size
    depending on the size of the browser window. For just one perfect
    setting, everything will line up. For all other widths, you have a
    mess.
    You need your header table and your forum tables to match.
    Either your header needs to be designed differently, so that it can
    expand and contract gracefully when a browser window is a different
    size (in pixels), or you need to edit your forum so that the
    various parts are all 800 pixels wide instead of varying
    percentages.
    As for monitors, it isn't the physical size that is important
    here, it's resolution. It isn't the number of inches, it's the
    number of pixels. You can have a 21" monitor that's set to 800x600
    pixels and you can have a 17" monitor set to 1600x1200 pixels. On a
    monitor with 800x600 pixel resolution, your header will be the full
    width of the screen and the forum content will be about 650 pixels,
    indented on both sides. On a monitor that is 1600x1200 pixel
    resolution, your header will be about half of the screen width and
    your forum content will be about 1300 pixels wide.
