RH for Word and Unicode

With RoboHelp 7, does RoboHelp for Word now support Unicode
and therefore most non-western languages, i.e. Chinese, Japanes,
Russian, etc.?
In the online Help of RoboHelp for Word 7(trail version), the
following statement can be found under "What's new in Adobe
RoboHelp 7":
Support for Unicode
Create content in multiple languages, in the same RoboHelp
project. Topic, index, TOC, and glossary can have content in
multiple languages. You can import, open, save, and publish
Unicode-encoded content.
I am not sure if this statement is also refering to the
WinHelp output of Robohelp for Word as it is known that Micorsoft's
WinHelp compiler (HCW: Help Compiler Workshop), which RoboHelp for
Word possibly still uses, has not been changed for 10 years. HCW
supports DBCS but definitely not Unicode.
It would of course be a nice supprise if Adobe have actually
managed to make the Unicode encodiing work in RoboHelp for Word.
Could you give more details on this?
I have performed some tests with a Japanese WinHelp 4 project
and the result looks good. I think you have to install RH7 on a
Japanese Windows system. I find running RH7 on an English Windows
with the Japanese Language files installed isn't enough.

Interesting question.
I am certainly one of those who would go the HTML route as
the HTML code created there is much cleaner and less prone to
issues than HTML created by Word. Also you can get at the HTML and
do things in the help that are not possible when working with Word.
However, you have hit the nail on the head when you mention future
authors in your company. Increasingly I believe that being able to
work with an HTML tool, which is not the same as needing to have a
good understanding of HTML, will become a basic expectation of
anyone seeking a technical authoring role, if it is not already.
But there are many organisations where the job is part time and
knowledge of Word is all that can be expected. Personally I would
go the HTML route and force the issue. It should not take too much
to get someone else to the point where they can follow on.
When I first created help I used RH HTML I started by using
Word as the editor. I hit some problems and was persuaded to use
the HTML editor. I got help along the way and now I would not
consider anything else. If I can do it, anyone can.
If you are going to import from a project created using Word,
do take a look at the topic on my site about importing from Word.

In Pages document, how do I search for word and view its frequency and page numbers in a sidebar?

I have a long document and I want to be able to search for certain key words and phrases, and then see how many times they appear in the document and exactly where. How do I conduct this sort of search and viewing? In the past, in Pages and Word, I've been able to view my "finds" in a sidebar but I can't figure out how to activate that service anymore.
Thanks!

Here is a word frequency concordance Automator Service that works in both versions of Pages. It does not present a page number reference. It is by descending count, and alphabetically, within the repetitive counts as shown in the image here. In any document, you select the text to process, then Menu > Application Name > Services > Frequency. The Service will open TextEdit with the n-pages of scrollable results. It is 16 pt Helvetica Neue for legibility.
Here is the code:
on run {input, parameters}
     try
          set mySelection to input as text
          set formatted_result to concordance(mySelection)
          if formatted_result is not null then

Saving for Word - and having it come out correctly

I have prepared a lengthy Word Processing document in Pages '09. It runs 19 pages, and pages 6 & 7 are 2 columns, the rest are single column.
When I save to Word, and I have others open in Word on their Windows computers, it loses the 2-column formatting of pages 6 & 7, plus having some other anomalies.
Any suggestions would be helpful.
I have even verified some of this myself by opening the document in OpenOffice 3.0.1 - I get the same phenomenon of the disappearing 2-column formatting.
I've also tried to prepare the entire document in OOo 3.0.1 and save it in Word format - still problems. It is imperative that I make it something that is useful (i.e., able to be edited) in Word. By the way, several versions of Word in this universe of my friends - some back to 2004 or so.
Thanks in advance.

The problem you are describing isn't just a Pages/Word problem and I can promise that the only solution I can offer you won't like. Every version of Office is just a little different and so interprets files a bit differently. Additionally, line and page breaks are influenced by font size and shape and while you and I both might have Times on our computers, mine might be OpenType while yours is PostScript and there are differences enough between them to create line and page break problems.
I'm currently involved in drafting a new set of documents for a professional organization I belong to. The committee involves 8 members throughout the US and we all use Word but we are using a variety of versions and even a variety of different operating systems. Early on we realized that NONE of us saw the documents displayed in the same way. The only real solution would be for all of us to be using the same version of Word with the same font set but that wasn't feasible. (In fact, my second suggestion, that everyone use OpenOffice also failed because two of the committee members couldn't get it installed on their computers.) And those, I'm afraid, are the only solutions for you too.

Preparing for upgrade and Unicode conversion while on 4.6c

We're currently on 4.6c and preparing to upgrade to ERP 2005 and do a Unicode conversion. I'm trying to compile a list of coding techniques that can used in 4.6c that will minimize changes needed for Unicode. Does anyone have such a list?
Some things I've discovered reading about Unicode include:
1) Use GUI_UPLOAD and GUI_DOWNLOAD rather than WS_UPLOAD and WS_DOWNLOAD.
2) Structures or table headers that contain non-character data need to be identical when moving, comparing, selecting into, updating from, etc. This includes not moving structures/tables with non-character data to a character field or vice-versa.
3) Offsets can't cross non-character data.
4) Assign statement with offset must specify a length.
5) Open dataset must specify "FOR INPUT", "FOR OUTPUT", "FOR APPENDING", or "FOR UPDATE". It no longer defaults to FOR INPUT when omitted.
6) Many implicit conversions from char to numeric are no longer allowed. Use explicit conversion instead; such as the move statement.
I know there are others. Any help would be appreciated.
Regards,
Mark Perrey

Anyone know how to make folders for Word and Powerpoint?

I've been trying to make folders for my word documents. i dont know how though!! Thanks for the help!

Open Finder, highlight your Macintosh HD and select New Folder. Name it whatever you want. In Word there is an option to Save File in X folder. Select that new folder you created. Alternative to this is when saving a file a dialog window will open where you can select the folder to save in, select the folder you created and there should be an option to make this the Default folder to save to (but not sure about that option in the Save dialog box).

Is there any apps for Word, and i can sync them on my computer?

title says it all.

There are a number of apps that support Word documents, they include Apple's Pages app, and from third-parties apps such as Documents To Go ('premium' version) and QuickOffice.
As to how you then get the documents to your chosen app will depend upon what the app supports - different apps will have different ways of copying their content to/from a computer e.g. via the file sharing section at the bottom of the device's apps tab when connected to iTunes, via your wifi network, email, dropbox etc. For Apple's Pages app : copying documents via iTunes.

Mass installation of DocService ActiveX for Word and Excel doc on-line edit

Hi guys,
if u want to edit on-line office document in KM, u have to have DocService ActiveX installed. Our customer has disabled feature of installation ActiveX for end-users, so we need to do mass installation on workstations. Any experience, how to do it?
Peter

I used regmon to obtain the registry keys added when you install the activeX control, and developped an msi with Visual Studio Installer.
Now, everytime a new editor need the activeX, I ask my domain administrator to deploy it to the user.
The other solution is to use the Java applet, but you need to deploy the JRE to all editors.

Taskbar Jumplist anomalies for Word 2010 and Excel 2010

I am having problems with missing jumplists for Office 2010 products (Word and Excel) pinned on the Windows 7 taskbar, **BUT** have no problems with jumplists for Notepad and IE pinned on the taskbar.
Observation 1: I just upgraded from Office 2010 Starter to full Office 2010 by getting a product key. Full Office 2010 was installed on my laptop when I purchased it but only Starter was licensed. Full Office 2010 was unusable until the upgrade. I suspect
the leapfrog from Starter to full Office 2010 might have a part in this jumplist issue.
Observation 2: I can see from a DOS prompt that the AutomaticDestinations and CustomDestinations folders exist under Recent. However, from Windows Explorer I cannot see the 2 folders under Recent. (That may be a clue…if other people CAN see the 2 folders
from Windows Explorer.)
Observation 3: In DOS, I can see that both directories have files ending in -ms. I can also see updates (new files with fresh timestamps) from opening Word and Excel files in those 2 directories. It’s almost like Word and Excel don’t understand to go look
in those 2 directories after the Office upgrade, even though Windows 7 (?) generates the -ms files for the jumplist function.
Observation 4: Again, no problems with Notepad and IE jumplists. I can remove the files from the AutomaticDestinations folder and cause Notepad to have no jumplist items, and then restore them and Notepad has jumplist contents again.
Observation 5: I had no problem using jumplists with Word Starter and Excel Starter. All references to Office/Word/Excel Starter are now gone from the Starter button and All Programs - sent to Recycle bin. I deleted the Word Starter
and Excel Starter entries when I upgraded, but I just deleted the Microsoft Office Starter (Englisgh) entry under All Programs today...I thought it was a benign entry and wouldn't hurt since I wasn't using it. Maybe there's some corruption in registry
as a result of the mixture. Interestingly, I can drag a file created in Word Starter to the taskbar and it will try to pin it to the Word Starter taskbar "ghost" that's in the Recycle bin.
Any clues anyone? I have no large files in the two destination folders, and have only about 20 files total in each folder...far fewer than the 999 threshhold mentioned in one of the updates for Office 2010.
Thank you!

I encountered exactly the same problem, and under exactly the same circumstances as the original poster (upgraded from Office Starter to Home and Business; jump lists worked fine in Starter, then stopped working for Excel and Word after upgrading).
Like the original poster, none of the various fixes found online corrected the problem, nor did re-installing Office.
I also tried what was suggested by Max Meng and created a new User Account. The problem occurred for the new account, just as it did with the old one.
After about 6 hours of fighting, I have finally solved the problem. The solution is not easy, fast or pretty.
What I did was uninstall Office (again) using the Control Panel. Then I ran a FixIt utility found here:
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/290301 (method 2)
My hope was that this would do additional registry clean-up. I knew from earlier attempts that this alone would not fix the problem, though.
Despite uninstalling twice, there were still a lot of references left in the registry to "Word Starter" and "Excel Starter". Likewise, there were still references to "WINWORDC.EXE" and "EXCELC.EXE", which are the starter versions of the executables.
So I went through the registry using RegEdit, and manually deleted every key which included those strings. The largest number of cases were file type definitions for various Word and Excel file extensions. When in doubt, I deleted entire tag
hierarchies for Word and Office file types, figuring that they would be restored when I reinstalled Office. In the process, I removed pretty much every reference to Word or Excel that I could find in the registry.
I also deleted any directory on my hard drive (in c:\Program Files(x86), c:\Program Data, and c:\Users\<name>\AppData which appeared to be related to Office.
Having done this, I reinstalled again, and the jump lists for Word and Excel now work.
In debugging the problem, I found that .automaticDestination-ms files (which contain the data behind the jump lists) were not being created when I opened Word or Excel documents; they *were* being created when I manually pinned individual files to the
taskbar, however.
I suspect that this might be due to the long hexadecimal filename being based on a hash of the application name, or what the system thinks is the application name based on the file type. Removing the references to "Word Starter" and "Excel Starter",
and the corresponding WINWORDC.EXE and EXCELC.EXE in the registry might have cleared up this problem.
Obviously this fix is potentially risky, and should only be attempted if you are comfortable editing the registry. Making a full system backup beforehand would be a wise precaution. For this specific case, however (broken jump lists after
upgrading from Starter to full Office) it would appear the only alternative is a clean install of Windows (to wipe the registry completely).

How to create RTF template base on SQL in BI Publisher template for word?

Hi,
When i was using XML publisher desktop 5.6.2, i could able to see options Report wizard and SQL under Data menu to create template in MS word. But now i've installed BI Publisher template builder for word and there is no option for SQL or Report Wizard under Data menu. Is it eliminated in new version or did i mistake at install time?
As i have no option for SQL, i just run sql in TOAD and export data as a xml file and just load that data in to MS word as XML Data. it's not bad idea !!!.
Thanks & Regards
Jay

The create report from SQL option was removed from the Desktop tool. Here's what I would recommend.
1. Go to BIP server and create your report and query there (use the online query builder, use SQL Developer, use BI EE, use TOAD)
2. Open Word and login to the BIP Server
3. Browser the report catalog.
4. Open the report you just created online. (This will automatically create a download sample XML)
5. Create your layout
6. From inside word, upload your new template (new Menu option)
The ability to start new templates and update existing templates directly from Word is pretty handy. You no longer have to go back to your browser to upload the lasted copy of your template to the server.

Converting RoboHelp 7 HTML Project to RoboHelp 9 for Word Project?

Due to complications in localization, I've been asked to evaluate authoring in doc files instead of HTMs, since the tool we use for localization (Across Server) seems to work better (or so we're told) with doc files.
I've only authored in RoboHelp HTML with a CHM output for the last several years, so I'm unfamiliar with RH for Word. But I have used Doc-to-Help many years ago, so I'm somewhat familiar with the implications of using doc files.
How would I go about doing this conversion? Is there some utility that does this, or is the best way to export to a printed output and then import that output into a new project?
I'm also going to evaluate this using RH 9 since I'm considering upgrading from RH 7. I only have Word 2003.
Thanks in advance,
Jared

RoboHelp for Word has only had minimal changes for the last two versions. Take a hint. Also enhancements to RoboHelp HTML outputs have not been mirrored.
I suggest you do some work in RoboHelp for Word and see how much you enjoy it.
As for conversion, open RoboHelp for Word and see the import options. Your idea seems to be the way to go, if you really really have to.
Oh, one more thing, you will not get much help in the RoboHelp for Word forum because there is hardly any user to user support.

RoboHelp 8 for Word not installed with RoboHelp HTML?

My workplace just upgraded from RoboHelp Office 5x to RoboHelp 8. Come to find out, *all* that was installed was RoboHelp 8 HTML. The RoboHelp 8 for Word part of the application was not installed.
The department responsible for software installations says that they don't have the RoboHelp 8 Word program--that it didn't come with the RoboHelp download. They are insisting that it's not available, and will probably have to be purchased separately.
Has anyone else installed a volume license from a download?
If so, were the HTML and Word portions of the program both available?
Did both parts of the application install (HTML and Word)?
If one installer was used, was the the RoboHelp 8 for Word portion missing? (I.e., is this a bug?) Or did you get the whole thing?
If more than one installer was used, were the components downloaded in separate installation files? (Could someone have missed an installation file, in other words?)
FYI, please, I don't need all the advantages and reasons why I should use HTML Help or WebHelp instead. I work for a government agency, and need to just generate WinHelp to replace an existing Help file, not make everyone change a whole bunch of stuff to use WebHelp or a CHM file. I need WinHelp output from Word. And, one more thing: I do not have administrator access on my PC either.
Feedback, experiences, and suggestions welcome. Thanks in advance for your help!

The licence you bought was for RoboHelp Office which includes both the RoboHelp for Word and RoboHelp HTML applications. Each of these three has it's own installation file so I suspect that they have installed just the RoboHelp HTML application. They should have the details for the RoboHelp for Word application, or better still the RoboHelp Office application which gives you the options of what to install according to your needs.

Robohelp 8 for Word: Problem with the Hotspot Topic

Hello Everybody:
I'm a beginner user of Robohelp 8 for Word trial version. My project is a WinHelp 2000, imported from a version X3, and I have a problem with Robohelp when I save the value "Topic" of the property "Jump" of the tab what is called "General" at the window "Hotspot Properties". This Hotspot is part of a Shed Image (accesible from Help Image Properties > Shed ... > Image Workshop > Properties button). After edit the topic, I press the "Aceptar" (OK) button (note that I use a Windows XP SP3 Spanish Version and some buttons are located) and close the Hotspot Properties window, and I close Image Workshop window too.
If immediately after I open the Image Workshop window and the same hotspot property window edited before, Robohelp lose the new value "Topic" and only it puts one letter. When I make the compilation they are multiple errors like this: HC3025: Warning: ESTA0058_2.SHG : Jump to undefined Topic ID: "A".
Please, help me. Thank you very much.
P.D.: This image shows the problem:
