Import from Word- all links linking too low down so that bread crumbs don't display
When I import from Word, all the links being created are linking to the topic title, instead of just to the topic:
e.g. href="CreateLineOfSight.htm #CreateLineOfSight">CreateLineOfSight</a></p></td>
As a result, whenever the topic is longish, opening the topic from the link displays it with the title at the top of the screen and the breadcrumbs hidden.
If I change the link to: href="CreateLineOfSight.htm">CreateLineOfSight</a></p></td> - without the #link , it opens properly.
Does anyone know how to import from Word so that it links as I require. And/or how to replace all these links to the topic title with just a link to the (top of the) topic?
I'm using RoboHelp 8
Thanks.
Ayelet
Hi Ayelet,
are you converting the TOC generated inside word document itself and is the TOC generated at the TOP of the document ?
In such a scenario the TOC generated in Word document itself is the reason for this issue as the TOC itself point to that location!
One more thing to talk about, and that is my personal opninion is that when we move to online medium or even document for any hand held device we should keep our topics short, the reason is that even if we have bread crums those will get autoomatically hidden when we scroll down the topic if the topic is long.
So I would suggest you
1. Better do some style mapping to sute your online needs
2. Paginate the topic on the basis of style (like the one that has been used to generate the TOC) so that you have smaller and manageable/viewable topics
3. and after pagination Auto-generate the TOC inside RoboHelp after import
4. Can also generate mini TOC for better navigation, if you map your style to Headings style of RoboHelp and create mini TOC in the topic if it is long in place of the TOC generated in word

Import from Word - tab space used with a Word style does not import consistently
When I import from Word using RH 10 (but this has been the case with all versions of RH that I've used) the import messes up my tab spacing in my Note style. To clarify: The Note style in my Word document has the word Note followed by a tab space and then the content of the Note. When I import a Word doc to RH, the conversion of this tab space is inconsistent (from 4-6 spaces) - it seems to depend on the length of the note and whether it continued onto a second line in the word document. Is there any solution to this? TIA.
Simply that plans change at this time of year.
I got exactly the same result and at first I wondered if it was because the document had tracked changes in it. I have seen that cause problems in the past and always recommend accepting them, in a copy document if you don't want to lose the tracking.
Accepting the changes made no difference and I would say this is a bug. Fortunately though there is a workaround that may be acceptable. Quite simply, add a full stop (period) or some other character after the number. A space will not work.

CS4 animated gif imported from Flash - how to link
I have a few animated gifs published from Flash CS4 the files have clickTag info in the actionscript but Flash will not export that so I need to make the animated .gifs click to their respective links.
How do I do in Photoshop CS4?
any help??
rdefPhotoshop can produce animated GIF files but I'm confused by your request.
You cannot embed any linking data in a GIF file. This is done in HTML. -
Imported text from word, all missing fonts found, but still have pink boxes for Turkish language
Hi,
I placed a document from word. The body font is ITC Garamond. Apparently ITC Garamond doesn't have some Turkish characters. Adobe Garamond however, does. So I was going through and selecting each pink box and changing the character to a new character style I created which is the Adobe Garamond Font. Surely there's an easier way to do this rather than me selecting each pink box? Can GREP do this? I would use the Find Font dialogue, but it shows all fonts as being fine, it doesn't show any missing fonts. So this seems to just be a wierd issue with ITC Garamond not having those special characters.
I know what you're thinking, why not just make my body font Adobe Garamond Pro.... Well I can't right now. Not for this job. Maybe in the future I will, but for not it has to stay ITC Garamond condensed Book.
Also, I should note that in the preflight panel, InDesign does not show the document as having any missing Glyphs either.... so Peter's Glyph script won't work.
Thanks in advance.In your case I would not add or change a character style, change your paragraph style. A mix between 2 similar fonts looks terrible. You might need a character style for language purposes, to get through with hyphenation correctly, but this is a different thing.
To change a font globally go to search font and replace and redefine styles.
But if you really does not want to change the font you can crate a character style. And in your paragraph style go to GREP styles and select this chara style and write all glyphs and letters where you need this character style.
Take care, if you use a different font you might have to scale in advanced properties, so that a glyph from the other form fits to the rest of the text. -
Can't remove ghost object in Pages doc imported from Word
Hi there,
I imported a Word .docx into Pages '09 for it's better layout and figure handling capabilities.
I ran into a few issues with page numbers from Word being converted to background/master objects, but overcame that pretty easily.
The problem I now have, is that it seems one of the figures from the Word document has become some kind of unselectable ghost object. Which is only apparent because text is inexplicably wrapping around an empty space.
I've tried all the tricks I've found to select background and master objects with no luck. Has anyone encountered this before?
I'm attaching a jpeg of a screenshot of what the document is doing. Invisibles are on, so you can see that there aren't spaces, tabs, etc or an object. Yet the text is wrapping as if an object were there.
I've already made edits to the file, so I would really prefer not to have to delete figures from the Word file and re-import to Pages to fix this...
Any help would be much appreciated. Thanks very much!Ah great, it worked!
A warning to others, exporting to Rtfd and re-importing to Pages seems to have removed many of my tables and figures from the original document, in addition to the weird ghost figure. I was planning on cleaning up the figures anyway, so this is not a problem for me, but others who try this should be prepared to lose many (but not all, oddly) of their inserted objects.
Thanks very much Fruhulda!!

Importing from word - Headings not spliting like in RB7
I used RH7 to import a Word document user manual. RH7 was able to split the large documents into useable pieces at the headings. In RH 8, I can only get it to import the whole document. The requirments are for the table of contents to link to specific areas in the document defined with headings down to and including level 4. We need to eliminate as much scrolling for the user as possible.
For some reason I don't follow the settings are not invoked by the import routine. You have to go to Project Settings. You set them by clicking the Edit button there and that applies to future imports.
Notwithstanding that there is an Export button, you cannot save different settings and browse to the required settings next time! That is only for Linking.
You might want to suggest some changes here.

Images not importing from Word doc
SORRY MODS - Accidently posted this in the HTML Help forum
I'm having trouble getting my images placed in a Word
document to import ito my project. I have RoboHelp 2002 and first
experienced the problem there, thought I'd try the upgrade to see
if that fixes the problem. It did fix my step numbering problems
(all steps were numbered Step 1), but the image import problem
remains. The images are .jpg images and most were placed in Word
using Insert Image. Some were just copied and pasted. Regardess of
how the images were included in the doc, none come through in an
import. Am I doing somethig wrong? I've tried importing it as a
Word 2000 and a Word 2003 doc with no luck.
Thanks in advance for any advice!
MikeI had the same issue and could get no good advice on how to
fix it. What I finally did was take the embedded images from the
Word doc and save them in another location. I then inserted them
back into RoboHelp after I imported the Word doc. It's a little
tedious, but it worked. -
Bad image quality when importing from word
When importing from MS Word 2003 to RH X5.0.2, embedded
images are converted to jpg whith an obviously quite moderate
compression qulity. This is particularly evident for screenshots.
Is there a way to improve the image quality?Peter , these images were copied and pasted directly in to
the Word-document (using the Print Screen button) but I did find
out something. RoboHelp generates two image files of the types PNG
and JPG for each Word image (named, e.g., image102.png and
image103.jpg). Regretably, the lesser quality JPG is always
referenced in the topics instead of the much better PNG. Sometimes
the two images greately differ in size (pixel size), but most of
the time they are about the same size.
So the task might be to change the references in all topics
using a script and then manually checking the images for their
size.
An observation: Any GIF images in the Word file (i.e., real
*.gif files that were inserted over the Insert menue) remain GIF
files after the import, they are not converted and maintain a good
quality. -
Chinese & English Text imported from Word
Hi,
I have been having many issues of late importing Chinese/Korean/Japanese/Arabic text in to InDesign.
I have created Paragraph Styles, and they match the Word Document, but when I import the word document it ignores the font/style and directly imports the chinese font used within Word.
I had a feeling that InDesign was not recognising the font used within Word, hence it was unable to change it.
If this is the case, what is a font I can use within Mac Word, that will be recognised by InDesign and then apply my styling when importing.
Any advice on this issue would be great,
Thanks
SteveI have created Paragraph Styles, and they match the Word Document, but when I import the word document it ignores the font/style and directly imports the chinese font used within Word.
Our entire workflow is built around placing translator's Word docs into InDesign. In my experience, you can either struggle with this at length and maybe never succeed, or you can simply get used to clearing overrides after placing styled Word text.
If you for some reason can't just place, select all, and clear overrides, then there are many possible issues you can chase after:
Style naming - do any of your styles in ID have the same names as built-in styles in Word?
Style inheritance - are any of your styles in either app based on other styles? This can cause overrides quite easily
Character styles - are there any applied?
Font naming conventions:
I had a feeling that InDesign was not recognising the font used within Word, hence it was unable to change it.
This happens to me all the time when using fonts with localized font names. Also when paragraph styles in Word have bold or italics applied to fonts that have no bold or italic faces (i.e. Chinese fonts in Word will often get fake bolds or italics applied).
That is just a brief sampling of the difficulties inherent in placing multilingual text in Word/RTF into InDesign. Word import is simply troublesome in ID - my solution is simply to map a keyboard shortcut to Clear Overrides, and to use some scripting to clean up imported Word files. -
I set all audio gain too low - any way to up it for an entire project quickly?
I have been working on a project and have been setting the audio gain levels a little too low during edit. It's a lengthy project and I wondered if there was an easy way to en mass up all the gain levels at once.
The Matser mixer slider is already high - so I wondered if it was advisable to maybe select ALL audio at once and use the normal Audio Gain right click menu to say up ALL at once?
Is there a better way to do this - will this work?
Thanks in advance.Lots of ways,
Add a volume effect to the master fader in the track mixer.
The one I would use would be a dynamics effect, added, once again in the effects section of the master fader. Use the gain make-up control in the compressor to make it louder and set the limiter control to -2db to catch any peaks. -
Re: RH8 Import from Word- Table size
This post relates to my previous post about problems when importing a word document into RH8. I imported, then changed the size of all tables in the doc to 100% (as opposed to a specific size setting), and then generated:
In the .htm (Web Help), the text is falling off the page not only in long paragraphs in the tables, but also in any long paragraphs; the bread crumbs are also falling off some long pages.
In the chm , the tables expanded properly, but the text in the tables did not stretch out to fill the extra room in each row. The text is not falling off the screen in either the tables or the regular text.
In the Adobe Air, everything appears correctly, but I would like the search results to appear in the side toc pane, not the main pane.
What settings should I be changing and how. TIABoth try this, may or may not work, depends on the document.
Create a new project and import the Word document.
Click in a table and go to Table > Table Style and select the table to be applied. Make sure you tick the Clean Styles option.

I used to use log and transfer and now in final cut x I know you are supposed to use import file, however you have to import the entire clip instead of being able to select an in and an out point of the footage being imported. This is not good for me because I have a limited amount of space and if I'm going to be converting everything to prores and only using 65% of the footage that is a huge waste. Any help or work arounds would be appreciated. Thanks!
I import from P2 and 7D cards daily, it's super easy, very fast, very simple, not so complicated.
Here's how you do it.
1- CF card in a card reader, mount on Desktop, or copy whole card contents to a folder. (P2 can read directly from inside cam)
2- Open "Import From Camera" in FCP X.
3- Click "Open Archive" button.
4- Point to CF card.
* FCP X will act like L&T now.
* Select a Range of a clip you want to import, click import button.
* Select a different Range of same clip, click import button.
* If you want whole clips, highlight one or more whole clips, import.
* Imports are ProRes 422 files.
* If you want a backup of the CF or P2 card "as is", click the Create Archive button.
Very simple, no need for thrid party BS. It's really simple and easy.
Canon DSLR's have never been able to mount the cards while inside the camera. You have always needed a card reader. -
Import from Word-Numbers at end of headings are cut off in the TOC though not in the topics themselv
I'm using Robohelp10, though this has always been an issue in all versions of RH that I've used. I have a document with many headings that end in a particular # (it's a version #)
e.g.
I3DMLFeatureLayer65.
I3DMLFeatureLayers65.
I3DMLFeatureProperties65.
I3DViewshed65.
IAction65.
IAttachment65.
IAttribute65.
IAttributes65
When I import and automatically have the TOC converted, all these headings appear in the RH TOC (books and pages) with the # 65 at the end missing, as such:
I3DMLFeatureLayer.
I3DMLFeatureLayers
I3DMLFeatureProperties
I3DViewshed
IAction
IAttachment
IAttribute
IAttributes
In the topics themselves, the topic title displays correctly (with the 65 at the end).
Has anyone else experienced this/have any suggestions? TIA.Simply that plans change at this time of year.

Footnotes - Some not importing from Word.
Hello, using CS6 here.
I am currently designing a 400 page book using a fully formatted Word file. I am importing the file into InDesign and setting all of the options properly—however after chapter 4 the footnotes disappear and are no longer in the imported text.
Chapters 1 thru 2 have the footnotes imported perfectly.
Any idea why this is happening? It is very frustrating and I am on a tight deadline.
Please help!thank you, peter. i tried that, as i do have CS2 on my computer. now there are new problems:
1. When importing the complete file into CS2 it only imports half and for some reason the rest doesn't import...
2. I tried importing the other formats into CS6 and it crashes every time, now...
Frustrating...
