Open Help File

Question

Hi - I am trying to determine if the Help closes with the
application in both WebHelp and HTML help. We are trying to
determine which layout best suits our new web application and there
is concern that if we produce WebHelp and a new web page is opened
when Help is initiated - and the user closes the application, the
WebHelp will remain on the screen. There are some hippa issues and
we would like to be sure the Help closes when the application is
shut down. I've noticed that even HTML help stays on the screen
when we close out of an application. Since we are creating a new
web application and neither the app nor the help is ready to join
up I have no way to test this and could use your expertise to know
which Help layout will work best for this. We are using RoboHelp
6.0.
Thank you.

Answer 1

With your project closed, try opening up your .css file
(default.css unless you created a new one) in a text editor like
Notepad. Under BODY, enter a line like the following (this example
declares the left margin):
margin-left: 20px;
Enter whatever value you want. You can also set margin-right,
margin-top, and margin-bottom values. If you want all margins the
same, use:
margin: 20px;
...with your own value instead of 20.
When you open your project, you should see the new margins in
the WYSIWYG editor. I haven't seen RoboHelp change styles that I
have manually entered in the .css file, so this should stick.
