RE:  Style bugs in RoboHelp 7

Have tried to modify a Style using methods explained in Help.?
Example:  modified Heading 1 to font 12, bold & Keep with Next - then compiled & clicked on Review Results - Heading 1 is OK - BUT when I return to project to add or edit text the Heading 1 style settings are back to what they were prior to modification.
Is there something I'm missing on how to modify a style? because right now I have to re-modify the style each time I work in the project.

Modify the robohelp.dot template itself. Use windows explorer, navigate to your hard drive, C:\Documents and Settings\<your id>\Application Data\Microsoft\Templates  - make a copy of this template and paste it in this location before modifying it as a backup -- then, right-click the robohelp.dot and select open. Make sure you see robohelp.dot in the word title bar. Modify your styles -- suggest you just modify one style at first -- once you determine this works you can repeat the process for the rest of the styles. Save the template. When you open your project, using the developer ribbon, modify the doc template to copy the styles from robohelp.dot into the current doc. Then test again. Note: always make a backup of the robohelp.dot file before modifying it as if what you tried does not work, you can delete the robohelp.dot and rename the copy. Also important to note is that any changes you make to the dot file will affect all projects.

  • Copy/Paste Layer Style Bug

    Really, you guys didn't fix the copy/paste layer style bug in 13.0.2.  Wow, easily reproduced, there is an adobe recommended workaround, meaning very aware of the problem, and couldn't fix it for this update, very sad Adobe, very sad.  Can you let us know when this will be fixed?

    The 13.0.2 update was targeted to fix one specific bug. It was not intended to be a general bug-fix update.
    We are testing a fix now for the layer styles bug and others, and we intend to include these fixes in the next general update, which is currently slated for release in less than two months.

  • Using RoboHelp 8 style sheet with RoboHelp 9

    Howdy. My issue:
    I was using RoboHelp 8 at work to craft a web help document out of a Word file. We have a company CSS we apply to web help for look, feel, etc. It worked in RoboHelp 8, but not in 9 despite following the same Word Import procedure. Needed to upgrade to RH9 because RH8 was not recognizing our version of Word to compile and create the web help files.
    How can I make my old style sheet work with RH9? Is there some step I'm missing? Help appreciated with 20.1 bazillion thank yous in advance.

    Hi there
    First we need to know what type of string you are using and obtain an exact measurement.
    I'm joking, of course, but the fact here is, we need more information. Things like:
    You said "...despite following the same Word Import procedure.". What are the exact steps in said procedure, please?
    Note that it's a simple process to ignore any style sheet during the Word import, then later import just the company CSS file and associate it with your topics. All of that can be done in perhaps 30 seconds or so.
    Cheers... Rick

  • Pages 5.1 - Styles bug

    Hi everyone,
    I was very glad that Apple updated Pages.
    But I noticed a strange bug in 5.1 version.
    On one of my documents (a big one updated from a previous version of Pages) containing a bunch of styles, does not "wok as it should). Now, whent I scroll the (how do you say in english ?) style menu in the format section (see image) styles becomes blank.
    It seems this bug occurs with my Macbook pro retina only (not such problem with my iMac).
    Can somebody help ?
    When I come back to the menu, styles have reappeared but always the same scroll bug !
    Both images befor and after scrolling the menu :
    f
    Best regards.
    And forgive my clumsy english : I am french !

    Just to let you know, I have had the same problem since I started using Pages 5.0 on my MacMini.
    I reported that bug to Apple through their developer Bug Reporter some time back...
    This was my report:
    09-Dec-2013 10:33 PM
    Summary: When the number of paragraph styles becomes very high, the scrolling paragraph styles pane stops displaying text and becomes unusable. 
    Steps to Reproduce:
    1. Launch Pages 5.0 or 5.0.1
    2. Go to Format Inspector, Paragraph styles, and access the pop out paragraph styles selection pane.
    3. Click on the "+" to add a new style. Repeat this step until the text in the pop out paragraph styles selection pane disappears (approximately 23 to 47 times depending on the size of the styles added).  
    Actual Results: The text in the pop out paragraph styles selection pane disappears, rendering it unusable. 
    Version: Pages 5.0 and 5.0.1; OS X 10.9 (13A598) 
    Notes: It seems that triggering the error depends on the graphical height of  the pop out paragraph styles selection pane, not the actual number of existing styles.
    This was their response:
    Apple Developer Relations10-Dec-2013 07:37 PM
    Engineering has determined that your bug report is a duplicate of another issue and will be closed.
    I guess they have known about the problem for a while then. They must be busy with damage control over all the issues with Pages 5 that are causing greater negative feedback.
    The only way I found to work around the bug was eliminating styles from the drawer until the bug goes away. Not a nice fix, but it is one way to be able to continue working with the doc.

  • Styles bug in Pages 5.0?

    I am editing a document created with Pages 09. The doc has probably 40 paragraph styles: certainly more than can be viewed in the new styles dropdown list without scrolling. When I attempt to scroll this dropdown list it "disappears" from the pane. See two screen grabs: #1 taken after clicking the down arrow to open the styles dropdown; #2 taken after trying to scroll down within the dropdown pane. Once I have tried to scroll, there is no way to recover the styles display other than closing the pane by clicking ourside of it.
    I don't see a way around this, save reverting to using Pages 09 to edit my document. Any ideas?

    Another autocorrect bug:
    I type a lot of lyrics, which tend to cotain words like ’cause and ’em instead of because and them.
    I've set up autocorrect instances to change a plain apostrophe with an ending, single curly quote for these words, but they are invariably changed to a beginning, single curly quote mark by Pages. The only way I can get the correct curly quote is to type over the wrong quote manually and hope that I don't have to edit the rest of the word again, as this would cause autocorrect to kick in again and change the quote to the wrong, beginning curly mark again.
    Does anyone know how to get around this tedious problem?

  • Silver Combo Box Display Style Bug

    [LV2011, Windows XP]
    There appears to be a small bug with the Silver-style Combo Box control when you right-click and select Visible Items->Display Style.  For the string control a glyph appears properly, but for the combo box the glyph appears in the wrong place, and the colours are wrong.  In fact, the glyph only appears properly if you click on it, or do something else to force a redraw of the control.
    This combo box is a bit confusing, since it has no "Radix Shadow" part like the string control does, and in fact only the Silver-style combo box lets you display the "Display Type" glyph.  The other styles of combo box have no "Display Type" feature in the "Visible Items" menu, but the "Display Style Visible" checkbox does appear on the "Appearance" tab of the Properties dialog box (though checking it has no effect, and it appears unchecked if you re-launch the dialog box".
    I've attached a new version of the control which is close to fixing the bug, but the glyph region is 1 pixel skinnier than the string version.  Copy this to your "..\vi.lib\silver_ctls\String" folder if you want it to replace the version in the palettes.

    Jaegen:
    Good catch, there is now a Corrective Action Request filed for this issue. It is correct that this property is
    not supported by the Combo Box found in the Modern Palette. However, this should at least be documented in the
    "Display Style Visible" property documentation if this is case, which it is not.
    Thanks for alerting us to this error and if you would like to follow the CAR, look for CAR# 312717 listed in

  • Load Styles Bug? (IDCS4 WinXPSP3)

    Do the following:
    1. open a document that contains a bunch of paragraph styles
    2. delete all pages and all paragraph styles from the document so that you're left with a single blank sheet.
    3. do a "save as" and save the document by a new name.
    4. try to load the paragraph styles back again from the previous incarnation of the document (i.e., from the original file before you did a save as)
    5. do you get an error?
    The workaround seems to be to close the document and reopen it. InDesign seems to miss that the document has had a "save as" done, and is no longer the same document.
    Thanks,
    Ariel

    It's to do with the Word-footnote-styles-don't-import issue that I started a thread about just below. I'm basing this book on a previous book, so I deleted all the pages and did a save as. Then I placed the text of the new book. Saw the footnotes styles didn't import properly. Thought it was because of all the previous InDesign styles. Deleted them. Placed again. Still didn't work. Tried to load the InDesign styles back in to try something else. Got the error! (One bug leads to another, as they say.)
    By the way, do you have any ideas about importing footnote styles from Word? That's really my biggest issue.

  • Keynote paragraph styles bug

    This bug is from the Keynote 6 and I was hoping for the solution in any update, but even in the Keynote 6.2 this happens.
    If you create a new slide, select the title, go to the Paragraph Styles and click plus 10 times, the Paragraph Style will disappear. Every time, if try to select a diferent Paragraph Style and scroll, it will disappear.
    This limits the Paragraph Styles number of styles.
    Anyone else has that bug?

    Yes, I have this bug. View All Keynote Paragraph Styles
    When I scroll down the list they disappear so I can't see what I'm clicking.

  • Cannot paste and match style bug in keynote '09

    Since upgrading to Keynote '09 I cannot utilize the past and match style function when wanting to duplicate fonts between slides. For instance, if I want to highlight some text from a working document and put that text onto a slide in Keynote, I select the text and copy it- go into keynote and click on my slide and then right click to insert the highlighted text. After the upgrade the text just drops in the (default black font from the document) - not the larger white font on the black background slide.
    So now I have to manually highlight each text box - 1) change font 2) change font color.....very frustrating and time consuming. I have yet to see any one else on the forums having a similar issue with Keynote '09

    I am rarely on these forums and was just browsing over lunch when I saw yours.
    The Paste and Match style command pastes the text in to the text box with the font and style already allocated to that text box, regardless of its origin.
    If you just do a regular Paste (Command V - not sure about your right clicking as I have a single button mouse) that will paste the words in with their original font and format.
    I use the Copy and Paste Style keyboard shortcuts ALL the time; it saves so much time. Just highlight the text form you want (font, size, colour etc) and, instead of just Command C to copy it, do an Alt Command C . . this copies the format and not the text. Highlight the text you want to change (it doesn't work if you just pick the text box - you have to highlight the text itself) and Alt Command V to paste in the new formats. You can do this with any objects too - drop shadows, line weights, fills, colours etc. This also works between Pages and Keynote.
    What I most want from Apple is a Copy and Paste Build command!
    Hope this helps

  • IDCS3 - 5.0.2: Index para style bug?

    Problem is that the leading in auto-generated index texts cannot be set lower than 12 pts. In other words the lines are too loose for my liking. However, I can easily change the leading to for example 16 pts; no problem!
    An example: I change the para style "Index Level 1" from size 10 pts to size 8 pts, and leading 12 pts to 8 pts.
    This results in a smaller letter size (as expected), but the leading (inter-line spacing) doesn't change at all!
    Then I begin to trouble-shoot a bit: 1) I open a new text frame, 2) I enter 2 or 3 paragraphs, 3) I apply for example "Index Level 1", 4) I change the leading to 2 pts, and 5) what happens?
    I tell you what happens: The generated index text doesn't change a bit, whereas the text in the new text frame really gets squeezed !!!
    Can you explain that? And maybe give a solution?

    There are characters in your lines with 12pt leading.
    How this comes to be the case is uncertain. Nested styles as Dave suggests is a very good bet.
    Just walk through your index with the cursor and look at the leading field in your control panel

  • Mapping Styles from Word 2010 to RoboHelp HTML 10

    Hello all,
    I have created customized styles for myself and my team to use for authoring content, which I then import to RoboHelp, as I am the only individual who understands RoboHelp and HTML/CSS. I created a corresponding CSS style sheet in RoboHelp to correspond with the names of the Word styles. When I go to import the files in RoboHelp, I am running in to an issue with paragraph tags and heading tags.
    When I import a file from a Word document, I have not found a way to map a <p> tag that is parsed from a Word document to an <h> tag, as heading tags do not appear as a selectable item in the Conversion Settings  window when importing Word files. I would be able to keep the formatting if I left the headings as <p> tags; however, it is my understanding that RoboHelp 10 search relies heavily on the heading tags for weighting search results. I have about 400 topics, and search is used heavily by those using my documentation. I would prefer to keep the <h> tags in place in the RoboHelp files and retain the search functionality, if at all possible, while finding an easier import option from Word files.
    At this point, I have to manually change the HTML for each <p> tag to match the correct heading style. While Find and Replace works well for this, I would prefer to have a seamless import from Word (which bloats an HTML file horrendously, I know) by mapping from one style to the next. Has anyone found a way to map a <p> tag to an <h> tag so that the search functionality does not suffer? Or am I just approaching this the wrong way?

    You are correct in your assumption that I am referring to paragraph styles when speaking of <p> tags. The paragraph styles come over as <p> tags, and I was just thinking of my style sheet. Sorry for the confusion.
    Speaking of my workflow, I'm attempting to map the styles for one topic at a time when importing a new Word file. I set up a test project to test out my style sheet, as I am upgrading from RoboHelp 7 right now. .I need to get one document to map correctly to save the settings for future imports.
    From the Import window, I click the Edit... button in the Word Document section. After RoboHelp scans the Word file, a list of all the styles from the Word document display. When I attempt to select from the available styles I want to map to from my RoboHelp style sheet, I don't have the option to select the heading styles I created in my RoboHelp CSS file. Does this provide you enough information to give you context on how I am attempting to map the styles?
    I found this article that leads me to belive that RoboHelp does not support mapping to a customized heading style from a CSS file. I realize that this is around the printed output, but it states the following:
    If custom heading styles aren’t named in the format Heading <number>, they are not treated as headings.
    If it doesn't work going from HTML to printed output, I'm guessing that there is not support going from Word to HTML. Am I wrong in this assumption? Do I just need to alter my style sheet to only use the standard <h> tags to fix this issue?

  • Numbered List and Bulleted List w/ Custom Style Sheet

    Hi,
    I am a new user to RoboHelp 7, and must say I find it useful
    but also painful to use. Currently I’m trying to solve
    something that feels like a bug in RoboHelp 7, but before I give in
    and accept defeat I wanted to check with the forum.
    I have FrameMaker 8, and import the files to RH where I use
    them to create WebHelp projects.
    Here’s a short procedure:
    1. I Import my files with a predefined style sheet matching
    the FM styles.
    2. I also check the Convert to HTML list option and set all
    numbering and bullet styles to User defined.
    - After import RH does the usual thing and creates a bunch
    of style sheets on its own
    3. I select all the files from the Topic List pod and apply a
    new custom style sheet. This enables me to have one style sheet for
    all the HTML files with the right layout and formatting
    4. I generate the output, and RH uses the new style sheet
    reference
    The resulting HTML files shows that the output is not the
    same as the generated HTML shown in RH’s HTML editor view
    - Editor view: <li class=”style”>
    - Browser view: <li>
    6. If I make a change (e.g. add a space) and save the HTML
    file, and generate the project again the HTML is correct in the
    browser
    One could argue that it’s not a big problem; however,
    with a large project this is starting to look more like a nightmare
    Does anyone know of this problem, and if so can it be fixed?
    Kind regards,
    Jon

    Is this the time when I get really angry at Adobe for creating the worst FrameMaker/RoboHelp integration ever? No! However, I must admit that I'm amazed that they are unable to solve an important feature as conversion of lists from a FrameMaker document to a RoboHelp WebHelp project. When I say conversion I mean a clean conversion with minimal interference from RoboHelp that allows me to use CSS to its full extent.
    Here's the problem, and this was also the problem with RoboHelp 7 and FrameMaker 8. BTW, I use standalone versions (not TCS 1 or 2).
    Figures: First image depicts FrameMaker 9's Paragraph Designer and the Autonumber format for a paragraph named VizNumbered. Second image depicts the RoboHelp 8's conversion setting.
    FrameMaker uses Autonumbering in front of paragraphs to create lists. This means that you in RoboHelp need to manage two formats, the autonumber and the paragraph style.
    RoboHelp does of course not (by default) use Autonumbering in front of paragraphs because a RoboHelp WebHelp project is HTML based, and list tags in HTML can perfectly handle any formatting of text etc.
    RoboHelp will convert, when "Convert Autonumber to HTML List" is selected, the Autonumber in FrameMaker to a list tag (LI). By default this will generate a list with a lot of margin, font and other CSS properties that tries to simulate the way the list is laid out in the FrameMaker document. In addition to the list tags it will convert the FrameMaker paragraph to a P tag which it inserts within a list tag. The issue you will experience with this is that indentations with the paragraph tag does not align properly between line 1 and 2. At the same time the WebHelp project will not look the same in IE, Firefox or Chrome. That is, Chrome and Firefox will look the same, and IE different. IE has the WYSIWYG feel, but it does not comply well with W3C standards (i.e. using P tags enclosed by LI tags is not a good idea ...).
    Selecting "Convert Autonumber to RoboHelp List" does something similar, but is not recommended at all!
    So, here's the big question. How can I make sure RoboHelp understands that I ONLY need to define a list tag with a CSS class attribute attached to it?
    Today I basically only get the following:
    <li><p class=""></p></li> or,
    <p class=""></p>
    What I want is the following:
    <li class=""></li>
    Can this be solved with today's versions, can anyone help me, or do I have to wait for the Adobe development team to realize this and to fix it?
