Reports in RoboHelp 7 HTML

Can RH7 run a report by "Modified Date"? We don't use RoboSource, but would like to run a report by the Modified Date for our partners. Thanks!

Hi there
You should be able to accomplish this by viewing the Topic List pod in RoboHelp.
I made a short video to explain.

RoboHelp 8 HTML import of Word file does not create topics

I imported a large Word file (350+ pages, 4Mb) into RoboHelp 8 HTML (8.0208).
In the status bar at the bottom of the screen, it said "Converting filename.doc..." with a progress bar and then (way too fast for a large file) it said "Ready".
RoboHelp created the project files (.xpj, empty .hhc, etc.) and NO topics.
I tried several times, with and without conversion settings. I tried opening an empty project first and then importing the file, but no luck.
The original file had a few tracked changes and footers which I removed.
I tried copying the file and deleting all but one heading and paragraph.
Nothing helped.
A friend with RoboHTML 2002 was able to convert it with no problem.
By the way, when I converted the file to.rtf, I was able to import it and compile it. But this is not the optimal way to do it.
Any suggestions are welcome.
Thank you,
Leeba Salzman

Hi there
So sorry. My bad. Upon re-reading what I replied to I see that. I really should have read more carefully. Then again, I'm fighting the beginnings of a head cold today. ICK!
What if you take an approach I've seen my dear friend Peter suggest from time to time. Make a copy of that Word document. Slice off the bottom half and try importing the first half. If that works, you know the issue is in the bottom half. If not, repeat the process and try the other half. Work that way until you either get it all imported or until you isolate the problem area.
Cheers... Rick

Losy images after importing Word document into RoboHelp 7 HTML

We imported a simple Word document into RoboHelp 7 HTML, as a
new project (from scratch).
Everything worked out pretty well (afterall, this was just a
simple Word document), and we expect to have to tweak the styles,
etc. That is understood.
However, the images that were embedded in the Word document
(as opposed to saved to disk, and only linked to the Word document)
do not look very nice in the RoboHelp 7 HTML project topics.
When we browse to the iamge folder, and view the actual image
files, these images do not look too bad. But in the Design View,
the images have display issues (solid color bars on the
sides/top/bottom of the images). When we compile to a Single Source
Layout (except PDF), the images look fine again. When we create
Printed Documentation, even for the best PDF-settings, the images
look terrible -- smudgy, like low resolution quality).
1) Except for storing the images outside of the Word document
before importing, and then manually linking them back into the
imported RoboHelp HTML files, is there a way to maximize the
quality of the imported Word images in RoboHelp HTML?
2) Why doe the images look worse in Printed Documenation
(PDF), even for the highest PDF settings, than for the other Single
Source Layouts?
While I am typing, I realized that we should try to include
the images in Word via a link to the image files on disk. Perhaps
then RoboHelp will not actually modify the image files during
import. I will report back about this one.
Your help will be greatly appreciated!

Looks perfect, works terribly...
Things to consider:
Chances are, the different treatments of the space are due to whether the space was included in the bolding of the word in MS Word.
Additionally, since Word files contain much underlying binary code (macros and such), your security settings might or might not be playing well with the Word stuff.
Are you importing the Word file from a network location, or from your local machine? Network traffic might be partially impacting the import, too.
Bottom line? You'll probably need to clear all formatting in the Word file and redo the formatting properly. To test this, cut a couple of pages into a new Word file, clear and redo the formatting in Word, import the Word file into another RH project, and see what results you get.
To clear the formatting:
Select text.
On the Home tab, in the Font group, click Clear Formatting.
Redo the formatting, being careful to not format the spaces.
Good luck,
Leon

Mass Image Change within RoboHelp 7 HTML

I am a new user to RoboHelp and have recently inherited a project form another person.
The project was created using RoboHelp 7 HTML
In this large help project there are over 700 images each named Image1, Image2, Imange3,.....Image700.
Now alot of these images needs to be edited, changed, or all together redone. Is there a way to do find for Image365 and replace it with an updated image called Img_BetterDescriptiveName?

Hi folks
In addition to what my esteemed colleague Peter offered, you would probably be able to use a good Find and Replace tool to accomplish this by having the tool trawl through all the HTML pages and perform the deed.
ReplacEm or FAR wold probably work well for this.
I'd avoid using the Find and Replace tool included with RoboHelp.

Glossary in RoboHelp 7 HTML

I have RoboHelp 7 HTML. I'm fairly new and inherited a project. I did not realize that the glossary did not get generated when I compiled the project.How do I add the glossary to the TOC or what do I have to do so that the glossary is part of the project after it's generated?

Hi again
On the outside chance you haven't sorted this, what I meand by the Single Source Layouts was that you should examine the properties of the WebHelp Single Source Layouts.
First, ensure the pod is visible by clicking View > Pods > Single Source Layouts.
Next, right-click the WebHelp layout and choose Properties.
Click Next and you should see the options. You may need to enable the Glossary here.

Handing off a RoboHelp 8 HTML project to a client

I'm wrapping up a RoboHelp 8 HTML project for a client. I am copying the files to a shared drive, a
nd another person will be copying the files to his PC to maintain the help after I'm gone. Is there any d
anger of corruption of files, or are there any special steps we need to take? I need an answer by tomorrow morning.
Thanks so much.
Mendonite

Hi there
As long as they copy the files from the shared drive to their PC, things should be fine.
If you have concerns, you might also want to zip the project(s) and place the zip(s) among the files too. Just in case.
Personally, I'd keep copies of the zips as well. That way if things go south and they call you, you can save the day by providing the zip to them.

ROBO 8 (Adobe RoboHelp 8 HTML has encountered a problem and needs to close.

I am really getting frustrated with RoboHelp 8 (HTML). It will work for a day or two then when I try to open it, it will not open and give the message above. I have to unzip a copy and it will let me open it. I can work for awhile and then it will give that message and I loose what I have worked on since the last time I closed it and zipped it. I am tired of zipping it several times a day. I am wasting a lot of time doing this. What needs to be done to fix this problem for good?

1] Have you applied the two patches that have been released? Yes. However after I applied them, it would not allow me to even open any ROBO project. I uninstalled them and then ROBO worked fine for a couple of weeks, then started giving me same problem as before which is it would not open and gave me the message above.
2] Is it also one or a number of specific topics? It would not even allow me to open that project. I had to unzip a copy and then I could open that one until it got corrupt.
3] Is it a specific action? Opening project using ROBO or going into the folder and opening it with the xpj file.
4] Is your project on a network drive? No. It is on my desktop.
5] Have you tried renaming the CPD file? - See Opening RH Projects on my site. Yes. That did not work either. It still would not open.
I just downloaded the patches again. I just opened the project that I was working on yesterday afternoon. That one had not crashed yet. I will let you know if I have anymore problems with it.

RoboHelp for HTML 9 - Problem with viewing .chm file on 64bit machine

I am working with RoboHelp for HTML 9 on a 32 bit machine. Recently, we encountered problems when viewing a .chm file on a 64 bit machine. The TOC was fine, but the topics did not appear, only error message "Navigation of this web page cancelled". My compilation settings did not change since the last compilation some months ago. What happens?

Generally, I've only ever seen the need to ensure the CHM is unblocked if it has been downloaded from the web. I could see where it could possibly occur if one moved the CHM from a network drive to a local drive, but I'm skeptical that would be required in that case.

Importing Word Documents to RoboHelp 7 HTML

Hi,
We are using RoboHelp 7 HTML for our project requirements.
The approach we adopted is as follows -
1.) Develop content in MS Word 2003 with proper formatting
including the styles defined for tables, fonts, paragraphs, various
levels of headings etc. We will have high number of word documents
which need to be reviewed by the SMEs before putting them in
RoboHelp.
2.) Copy the content to RoboHelp. We are using the File >
Import > Word Document. We find the following issues in the word
documents thus imported -
a.) Formatting errors like the font of the numbered list is
not consistent. The numbers have a different font while the ontent
has a different font.
b.) The content in Tables is also not properly indented. It
touches the borders.
c.) Foreign characters are being introduced wherever
double-quotes are used. Eg: ”r;Other” (it should have
been "Other")
How do we address the above-listed issues? How do we get the
same output in RoboHelp as can be seen in the formatted word
document? Do you suggest any better alternative?
Thanks & Regards,
Anil

1] Yes. Non-RH users develop the content.
2a & 2b] What I have noticed is that the numbers appear
in Times New Roman while the content appears in Arial after
importing. As mentioned, we have lot of documentation (many word
documents). So each word doc I import, a CSS gets generated and
editing them itself is a herculean task. Is there any work around
this so that we can gain time and carry out the import smoothly?
2c] Could not find the patch in your website. One of your
posts says that it is Item 21. But cannot find any downloadable
link.
As suggested I tried reading the article in Printed
Documentation. But really didn't know which one you were referring
to.
Regards,
Anil

RoboHelp 8 HTML runtime error on version control sync

I have a user of RoboHelp 8 HTML that is receiving a runtime error after opening a project that syncs files from our revision control server with RoboSource. When she receives the error there are no error codes just a very "generic" error.
I have uninstalled and reinstalled all the Adobe programs on her laptop and updated any Microsoft C++ Packages.
I have found a work around for the problem but it still doesnt resolve the original issue of crashing when she opens the project. To not get the runtime error she created an empty project and opened it first. Once we close that project she can open the project that gives the error with no issues.
I'm at a loss of what the issue could be as I have eliminated many issues including user based profiles issues as she logged onto a different computer with RoboHelp and was able to open the project with no issues.
Any ideas anyone?
Myles

I'm wondering if she is checking in files that shouldn't be checked in.
See Snippet 116 at http://www.grainge.org/pages/snippets/snippets.htm
If that is not it, I don't know the answer. I will move this thread to the source control forum in the hope it gets a response there.

RoboHelp 10 HTML - Contextual Help Capabilities

Hello!
Our company wants to serve help content relevant to the module the current user is in when they access help. I can only imagine utilizing conditional tagging as an option with RoboHelp 10 HTML and conditionally publishing sections to different folders on our webserver and having each module of our software call help content from our webserver. However I was wondering if there is a more dynamic approach available that I may be overlooking whether it be in RoboHelp 10 HTML or RoboHelp Server.
THANK you for your time and have a great weekend!
Kevin

The nearest thing to what you need is Content Categories. Take a look at Dynamic User Centric Content in the Rh9 section of the RoboHelp Tour on my site.
The Employee Care sample project also ships with Rh10 so that you can see how it is set up.
The difference is that to limit the search and content, the user would have to select from a dropdown to limit what they see. I don't think anyone has come up with a way of opening the help to different categories.
The alternative would be to use merged help and have your developers call the child project for the module in the way you suggest. As a user that would annoy me because the full help would not be available, although you could create links to it.
Personally I think the best way is to open the full help at the relevant topic. The topic will be synchronised to that section of the TOC so the user can see where they are.

RoboHelp 7 for Word versus RoboHelp 7 HTML

RoboHelp 7 for Word versus RoboHelp 7 HTML
Can someone explain very simply when and why you use one but
not the other? I'm a little confused. We have RoboHelp 7 Server
installed and I think using RoboHelp 7 is the way to go, and I know
the server does allow to track usage, frequently viewed, etc. I
guess I just don't understand the purpose of RoboHelp 7 for Word -
what it is used for and it's capabilities when compared to HTML.
I have tons of pages of process documentation created from
Word. I need to make these available online thru RoboHelp, so am
just looking at different ways to distribute and explore all my
options. We're currently experiencing difficulties in publishing
RoboHelp HTML projects to the server.
Thanks!

Hi hughbetcha
If your output is going to be HTML based (and if you have
RoboHelp Server, it will be) then I would recommend RoboHelp HTML
hands down.

Reports output as seperate HTML

HI all,
I have a situation I am using reports 6i and XP
I have a report with 60 pages
What i need to do is i need to generate report as each page as one html and save it some where
For example I have 60 pages I need to get output in 60 html pages or save 60 html pages
Is it possible to do in report
Any help is appreciated
Thanks

Hi
Sorry I was wrong. In Reports 6.0 onwards, HTML page streaming ia avilable, means that you can display individual pages of your HTML/HTMLCSS report output in the browser, without having to download the entire report. From the first page of the report, you
can navigate to any page by clicking from page to page or by entering the page number required.
Thus, HTML page streaming gives navigation controls to the web report. In its simplest form, page streaming is very easy to implement. The parameter PAGESTREAM=YES is used.
HTML page streaming uses a built-in JavaScript provided by Reports. To implement HTML page streaming, the default JavaScript provided can be used or your own JavaScript can be written.
To view the built-in JavaScript:
1. Go to the Report property palette by double clicking in the Report name in the object navigator.
2. Choose the 'Page navigation control value' property.
3. Click on the 'more' button; this will open the built-in JavaScript script.
If you wish to implement your own JavaScript, this file can be updated, or your own script can be referenced by setting the 'Page navigation control type' property to file and putting the filename of your JavaScript in the
'Page navigation control value.'
Please refer to Reports documentation on more on Page streaming feature.
Thanks

Email reports with graphs as HTML (via schedule)

== W2K machine with Oracle Reports Server 6i R2 ==
How can I schedule/design a report if sent via email (in HTML format), so the graph that is part of the reports shows up? Currently, the gif is missing. I can use the "hyperlink" in the web setting to point to the file on the web server, but this means my "customers" need to click the missing object.
If I send the report as PDF, all is well but again, my customers need to "open" the file.
Is there a way to email reports with graphs as HTML?
In any other format where the receiver does not have to take any other action?
Thx
Josh
