Problem importing Help topics from FrontPage into RoboHelp

Hi there,
This is my first time here.
I am a tech. writer in my first job (I've been here a couple
of weeks).
My company has just purchsed RoboHelp, and wants to import
it's Help topics from FrontPage (which I know nothing about) into
RoboHelp (which I know a teeny bit about).
I know the other tech writer here tried to import the topics,
and had R.H. continually crash.
I am the only tech. writer here for the week (aaaggghh! lol),
and I need to know how to fix this problem.
Please, when you respond, imagine that you are taling to a
first grader , and keep the instuctions simple.
Thanks in advance,
Leigh-Anne

Hi Leigh-Anne. First off don't woory about being on your own.
We'll all been there at some point and come out the other side.
Rick asked you whether you had the project on a network
because this is the cause of so many RH problems. The underlaying
Access DB in RH doesn't work at all well there. It is highly
recommended that you work on your local PC and back up to a network
each night. You say there are two of you. If you are using the
RoboSource control features of RHX5 then you can have the project
on a network but the actual source files must be stored and changed
on your PCs.
You could try creating a new RH project and import the
FrontPage topics a few at a time. If this works, try a few more
into the RH project. Repeat this until you hit the problem. Once
you do, import the topics one at a time until you hit the problem.
This will identify the offending topic - if indeed the problem is
in a topic! Once you're there, try creating a new topic and cut and
paste the old topic's elements into the new topic. It's all a
process of elimination I'm afraid.
Try this and come back to the forum with any further problems
you find.

Problems importing desktop captures from Camtasia into Premiere Elements 7

Problems when printing help topics from OHJ

We have encountered some persistent problems when printing help topics from Oracle Help for Java (Ice Browser).
NOTE: When we print the same source files from Oracle Help for the Web, the printing problems are gone.
(1) Spacing Errors (all printers had identical results)
Text with special formatting (<b>, <i>) often has either too much space or not enough space.
Links often have extra spaces underlined before or after the link, itself.
(2) When printing multiple help topics from the TOC (an entire branch in the tree):
On some printers, no graphics print correctly, but instead print as one of the following: 1. empty box the size of one character, 2. black box the size of one character, 3. black box the size of the original graphic. We could not detect a pattern that caused 1, 2, or 3.
NOTE: all graphics are bit maps (screen captures) that were generated in the same manner.
NOTE: if these same help topics are printed one at a time form Oracle Help for Java, the graphics print fine.
Is this a problem with the Ice Browser?
Thanks for the help,
Wendy Studinski

There are a known issue with the ICEBrowser printing in some circumstances. The laying out of text by the ICE Browser relies on font metrics (being able to measure the width of a run of text in a given font). On screen it looks great, but when printing, even though the GraphicsConfiguration for the printer is being used, these widths are sometimes off, which can result in text running together at boundaries between text styles. We're not sure what to do about this problem, and we've reported it to IceSoft.
Not every font has this problem, so varying the font you are using might help the appearance when printed.
The other problem you report, problems with the images when printing multiple topics, is something that we will look into.

Receive message after importing serveral songs from CD into iTunes (latest ver 11.1.5.5)... "Error occurred while converting the file 'songname'. The required folder cannot be found." CD/DVD ROM is no longer recognized until restart.

Consistently receive the following message after importing serveral songs from CD into iTunes (latest ver 11.1.5.5)...
"Error occurred while converting the file 'songname'. The required folder cannot be found."
CD/DVD ROM is no longer recognized until computer is restarted.

I have the same problem. I recently moved my music from a Vista PC to a new Laptop with an external CD drive. It will copy one song from the CD and it will show in the Music file and then I get the message ' Error importing a CD - Folder not found'. I must unplug the CD drive and plug it back in. I have seen no fix for this problem.

How do I import individual frames from iMovie into iPhoto?

How do I import individual frames from iMovie into iPhoto? Or how do I export individual frames from iMovie into iPhoto? My final goal is to have a DVD of individual photos from a video I recently shot. Thanks

Here is one way to do it, although you will see there could be variations.
1) Open iMovie
2) Start a new project - name it Stills for iPhoto (or a name of your choice)
3) Go to your EVENT. Find the spot with the cursor that you want a photo of. Right-click (or control-click if you don't have a mouse) and select ADD STILL FRAME TO PROJECT.
4) The photo should be in the Project called Stills for iPhoto.
5) Right-click (control-click) on the photo and select REVEAL IN FINDER.
6)When the finder window opens, right-click and select COPY. Go to your Desktop or a folder of your choice and right-click PASTE
7) Drag the photo from your Desktop to iPhoto

How do i import a table from excel into dw8?

I want to import a table from excel into a table in dw8, i
just want the data inside the excel table to be imported to the
table in dw8.
The tables has the same stracture - number of rows and
columns.
is it possible?
btw special paste is no good, since it copies the stracture
of the table from excel which contains <td height="17">,
which is not good coding - td doesn't support the height
option.

table without special paste:

Can you fix your help project (via coding) after importing a topic from an output file by mistake?

Yes - I admit it - I imported html topic files from an output folder of another RH project into the help project I am currently working on (the source files were lost and I needed to bring over a lot of legacy content in a hurry). However, I completely forget that the RH output html file contains unique Java scripting that is used to render the topic properly in a browser, but that same Java Script causes havoc when you open it up in as a source file in another RH Project. Needless to say, it has caused numerous weird things when I went to publish and view my files (but, surprisingly, you don’t really see or notice them in the RH Design WYSIWYG view or preview mode).
The bad news is that it took about 2 weeks for me to notice the issue (the help output is viewed on a special console running Linux with a QT browser that I only view occasionally). The good news is that is that I figured out what the problem was (that took some hours) and I can restore my help project back to a time before I did the "naughty deed".
I am now at a crossroads - do I:
Try to re-enter all of my content from the last two weeks? (Actually, to avoid repeating the same mistake twice, I will need to re-enter the text manually and NOT cut and paste from the RH output files!)
Or locate and find the offending HTML coding in my topic files (if that is even possible)? Has anybody documented what the RH output file JavaScript code injects into your files, and what files they affect?

OK - here is the documentation of this weird issue (hopefully, you can read the htlm code in the screen images):
1. In this topic, I cut and pasted some text into the table you see at the bottom of the screen. I had to reapply the “TableBody” style to this text. After doing this, I moved my cursor to the “Keyboard" text on top. Notice that it is displaying the "TABLEBODY" style, although visually, it is displaying the correct style on screen (“Heading 1”).
2.     In HTML view, notice the addition of the class= “TableBody”> code for this “Keyboard” text.
3.   I then reselected Heading 1 for this “Keyboard” text.
4.   Notice that the class= “TableBody”> code is now removed for this “Keyboard” text and has just the proper <h1> tagged assigned.

Problem in displaying topics from external files

Hello,
I have a set of Help projects created using Robohelp classic
7.00.139 by Blue sky Software Corp. There is a Master project and
sub projects linked together using “.cnt” files.
Now I want to move to HTML Help format (".chm")
Using Adobe Robohelp 6 for word, I convert all the help
projects to .CHM FILES using Batch generate option in Adobe
Robohelp 6 for word. I put all the “.chm” files in a
single folder of my application. But now the links from my MASTER
projects to the sub projects are not working.
When an external topic is selected from the master it points
correctly to the topic title in TOC, corresponding to the external
sub project but the topic from the selected external file is not
displayed there.
What could be the problem? Are there any settings to be made?
Best regards
VIPL

Problems importing 3D layers from Photoshop

Hi, I am a public school teacher in Australia and we have a site licence for the Adobe Master Collection CS4 at school. I am having some problems importing 3D layers into After Effects from Photoshop.
Firstly, I have a computer in my office with exactly the same software, installed from the same source as the computers in my class room. They are all running Google SketchUp 8, Photoshop Extended CS4 and After Effects CS4.
In my office I am able to export a 3D model from SketchUp using the KMZ format and open it using Photoshop. I can then save the file as a PSD file. I can't attach the file here as it is just over 2mb. When I import it into After Effects using the Photoshop Live 3D option I can rotate the model as normal and the elements appear as shown below.
When I try the exact same exercise in my class room (where the computers are all running exactly the same versions of Photoshop Extended CS4 and After Effects CS4) the model is imported as a 2D image with no ability to rotate or interact with the model. It appears that the camera and controller layers are missing from the timeline as well as the Solids folder from the Project pane as shown below.
I have been trying to figure out the difference for most of the day today and so far I cannot find any reason for this to occur, neither can I find anyone with a similar problem who has solved it.
Any help would be greatly appreciated,
Mr Merrick

PS Live 3D requires hardware acceleration to work properly, that is in terms of OpenGL support being available in Photoshop on the machines in question. If that's not the case, the importer component won't function either as it uses the same routines.

Create link to help topic from Flash file

We have started using Flash to develop our online learning
modules. So far they have been stand alone modules accessed from an
internal web site, published as .EXEs. Our latest Flash module is
related to a system for which we have an HTML help file. We'd like
to embed the Flash module in the help file b/c we want a link in
the Flash module to open a specific help topic.
I can get individual .SWFs into the help file but these Flash
modules are more complex, using many .SWFs for navigation, the TOC,
the frame, and for each interaction. In other words, the main .SWF
(or .EXE) calls many other .SWFs as the user navigates through the
module.
If I can't get the Flash module into the help file, and I can
only link to it as an external file, can a link from within a .SWF
in the Flash module open a specific help topic in the .CHM?
Any other ideas?
Thanks for your help,
SueM2

Answer
no it doesn't. getURL() causes no security issues unless you
try to open the html locally and (try to) access something on the
internet.
unless your "flash site" is your local computer there is no
security issue. if your local computer is an internet server, you
just need to set the security settings for your local file and give
it permission to access the internet zone.
