RH8 HTML, workspace font 8pt, can it be changed?

Hi,
My IT department just upgraded me to a faster machine Windows 7 however my RH8 HTML displays my Project Manager et al pods in Ariel 8pt. I know I can adjust the topic font size from the View option, however, has anyone figured out how to change the font size elsewhere on the workspace? My css works fine in my output. It's just my workspace view.
Thanks
Jan

I realize this is an old thread, but since I just encountered the same thing in RH11, I thought I would comment. I don't know how RoboHelp interprets what fonts size to use, but I was using two 22" monitors and a 14" laptop screen at 1920x1080 with Windows 8.1. I am testing TCS5 against MadPak. I'd never seen this problem in RH, and I was starting to think I would need to go with Flare to see the screen. I tried changing the resolution and nothing happened.
It wasn't until I pitted the two screen capture programs against each other that I realized something else was going on. Neither of them could capture. RoboScreen Capture was changing the resolution and making a single browser window take up the entire 22" monitor screen. I was seeing other inconsistencies with menu sizes, and I was not able to resize the display text or menus the way that I like them. I also noticed that moving windows from the laptop screen to the monitors resulted in the screens being very large for until they were completely on the new monitors screen (vs. in transition between the two).
To resolve the problem, I have had to stop using the laptop scree, but I suspect it's a Windows bug related to graphics, and it impacts RoboHelp because of the way RoboHelp determines its work space font size. A new graphics driver or a reinstallation may be what is really needed in these situations. It does appear that the bug has only gotten worse in Windows 8.1 (perhaps related to the increasing options allowing users to resize display items separately).
Once I changed my settings to two monitors and rebooted, all of my problems resolved. As multiple monitor use becomes more and more common, and Windows continues to become more customizable, Adobe may well want to change the way RH11 determines its font size. Flare did not bat an eye at this bug. It was fine. Both graphics programs were unusable but in different ways.

Title Font Defaults - Can they be Changed?

I do not like the default font and size on the Title pane I have chosen. Can these be defaulted to something else? If so, how do I change for the entire project versus having to change each clip?

Welcome to the  Discussion Forums.
Not done this for a while but I think once you change the font, next time you open a title it sticks. Can't be absolutely sure but either way it still means you'll need to change all those done already, manually one by one.

Font size can't be changed

Hi.
Mail.app (3.5)
While changing the mail font sizes in Preferences, I screwed up by entering a huge number by accident. The font is ginormous and I cannot reset it back to normal as the 'select' screen is out of sight in the format window.
All emails now have this huge font and reading emails uses it to. However I can select a new font in create mode.
I hope this doesn't sound too confusing but I have tried everything to recover the status quo and failed,
Any advice would be welcome.
TIA
Ritch S

Hi Ritch
Oooh, that's a nice one. I reproduced it
Quit Mail.app
Go to /Users/yourhomefolder/Library/Preferences
Copy com.apple.mail.plist to your desktop as a backup.
Open com.apple.mail.plist in Preferences folder with a text editor of your choice (drag and drop it on the icon in the dock).
Search for
<key>NSFontSize</key>
<string>77</string>
Instead of 77 (you'll see the number you entered by accident) enter something like 12 or 14.
Save the file.
Start Mail.app
If that didn't help, it could also be one of the following keys in the preference file:
<key>NSFont</key>
<key>FontSize</key>
Hope this helps. If you mess around with preference files for the first time, make sure you can take some time!

Preferences for font style can't be changed

Hi there,
I have been trying to set the font in preferences to use a different fonts for new mails. However, the settings will not be saved.
Is there any way to do that?
Andreas

Not sure what you mean by the settings will not be saved and is this for received or sent messages?
If for received messages, this preference setting works when the sender of a message uses Plain Text for message composition only.
When the sender of a message uses HTML for message composition, the sender of the message controls the formatting, not the recipient.

Font and font size can not be changed when I did Chinese courses in Presenter7.

After publish,i found that the font of notes tab was too small, so i changed the Notes Pane Font and font size by clicking the button called "Settings",then after clicking theme editor, I re-published, however, when i reviewed in Chrome brower,the font still not be changed, but I checked the Japanese courses and the English courses i did before, but I found that they were normal,their font can be changed,the Notes Pane Font displayed not blank but normally, so did the Size, so who can offer the workround about that?

We are having a similar issue. The text in the Notes pane remains small (sub 8 point?) and the Font appears also to remain the same generic Sans Serif font. Here is a same that we put together after reinstalling Presenter 7 because of another, unrelated issue. What is causing this?

Why does pdf not have correct font? Can this be changed to match what is on our Word Document?

The pdf does not have the same font as my document. We use Claredon Condensed Bold Italic and it changes it on the pdf?
Also, is there an easy way to just pick a certain pages to pdf?

Hi pkevdon,
How well a file converts depends largely on the quality of the original file.
Does it occur with all files or with specific one?
Would you send your PDF document to [email protected] as an email attachment?
I will check it from my end.Please add the link to this forum post for reference.

Florence

HTML Snippet Font

Hello --
I have an HTML snippet embedded on one of my iWeb pages that provides a list of events that have been entered on to a BigTent group. The page on BigTent that provided the code displayed what the snippet should look like, and the text was in a sans serif font (Arial or Helvetica) that would nicely blend in with the look of the site I am working on, however, when I actually pasted the snippet onto the iWeb page, it displayed in Times font. I have tried to add in a line of code to change the font, but it never does change. Here is the snippet (with no alterations):
<script type="text/javascript"
src="https://www.bigtent.com/hosted/sdhsa/calendar/upcoming?hosted_key=42742
419ae77ecead0502edab9715469&nevents=5&days=90"></script>
Any ideas on how I can get this to display in a specific font (in this case, helvetica)?
Thanks!

Enclose the JavaScript with a <span> and use a style
<script type="text/javascript"
src="https://www.bigtent.com/hosted/sdhsa/calendar/upcoming?hosted_key=42742

RH8 HTML not launching

Installed RH8 on a PC and it works under everyone that is logged in except the one person that needs it. They can do a "Run As" and put in anyone from the administrator to themselves and it will work. However RH8 HTML cannot see the network to open the projects that are stored there when it is launched with "Run As".
Rebooting, reinstalling, creating this person a new profile, none of it has fixed his problem of not being able to launch it.
RH8 Word works fine, it's just the HTML version that's acting this way.
Anyone have any ideas on what might be causing this?

Actually the PC is used by one person, but in testing I have logged various people in and they all are able to run it except the person that needs RH8 HTML on the PC.
The person is set as an administrator on the PC, but can't run it. Run As appears if you right click a progam and allows you to execute that program with different credentials that what you are logged on with. Say the currently logged in person only has User or Power User rights. You could do run as and put in the credentials of an administrator to execute it with those elevated permissions. In this case it's the only way he can run it, but it blocks out the network drives for some reason. This leads me to believe that RH is looking for something when it launches and it is hitting a network drive as it searches and then hanging at that point. It shows up in Task Manager for about 3 seconds and then closes itself. The question is what could it be looking for...
As for Source control, I know that it is a really a bad idea to open ANYTHING Adobe off the network, but I have no control over where the employees work on their projects. I'm the IT guy, not their manager. I can suggest they move them locally, but have been told many times over the years that it is too annoying to have to check out their files so they won't.

Convert RH8 HTML Project to RH8 Word Project

Hello,
I am new to this organization and taking over an existing RoboHelp 8 HTML online FlashHelp project. My supervisor has requested that I find out how to get our RH8 HTML project into a RH8 Word project, and after reading this forum and others, this sounds like it is not the way to go. The intent of converting to Word is to allow multiple authors (who are not HTML savvy) to create or update help topics. So, my questions are:
Is this the right path to take?
If converting from RH8 HTML to RH8 Word is not the correct path, what suggestions do you have for allowing multiple authors to create or edit content outside of RH8 (and then of course fold into the HTML online Help project)?
Any advice is greatly appreciated. Thanks!

Hi there
In addition to what Jeff offered, there really isn't any clean manner to convert a project from RoboHelp HTML to RoboHelp for Word.
Now if you have a need to allow users to edit content in Word, you have the option in RoboHelp 8 of "Linking" Word documents to the project. When you do this you have icons in RoboHelp that alert you to changes in the linked Word content. You then simply update to pull the new content into RoboHelp.
Keep in mind that in order for this to be remotely successful, you will need to ensure everyone uses Word consistently. RoboHelp really works with Word content best if it has been consistently styled with Heading 1, Heading 2 and Heading 3. Sometimes folks just swipe across text and adjust the font color and size to be larger instead of applying consistent styles. When that happens things become a big mess when it comes into RoboHelp.
Personally I would view converting projects from RoboHelp HTML to RoboHelp for Word to be a bad move. I'd suggest sticking with RoboHelp HTML and utilizing the linking feature to your advantage.
Cheers... Rick

RH8 HTML Cannot Generate PDF from Help Files

I just had my PC re-imaged with Windows 7, Microsoft Office 2010 and the Tech Comm Suite 2.5. I am trying to generate a PDF from my project within RH8 HTML and recieve the following error. Why can I not generate a PDF? I have Microsoft Word 2010??

Hi there and welcome to our community
You are likely seeing that message because only the newest Adobe RoboHelp 9 is compatible with Word 2010. Your version 8 doesn't understand Word 2010.
There are threads here that discuss installing Word 2003 or 2007 and using RoboHelp 8 with those lower versions of Word.

Is there a way to select MULTIPLE tabs and then copy ALL of the the URLs and titles/or URLs+titles+HTML links? This can be done with the Multiple Tab Handler add on; However, I prefer to use a Firefox feature rather than download an add on. Thanks.

Currently, I can copy ONE tab's url and nothing else (not its name). Or I can bookmark all tabs that are open. However, I'd like to have the ability to select multiple tabs and then copy ALL of the the URLs AND their titles/or copy ALL of the URLs+titles+HTML links? This can be done with the Multiple Tab Handler add on; when I download the add on, I get a message saying that using the add on will disable Firefox's tab features. I prefer to use Firefox features rather than download and use an add on. Is there a way to do this without an add on?

Hi LRagsdale517,
You should definitely be able to upload multiple files by Shift-clicking or Ctrl-clicking the files you want to upload. Just to make sure you don't have an old version of the service cached, please clear the browser cache and then log in to https://cloud.acrobat.com/files. After clicking the File Upload icon in the upper-right corner, you should be able so select multiple files for upload.
Please let us know how it goes.
Best,
Sara

Why can't we change fonts anymore?

Why is Apple taking away our abilty to change the default font in Safari? I have better looking fonts I can use. This sort of stuff should be a configurable option. I'm the user. I know what I want best.
Until Apple comes back to their senses, are there any plug-ins we can install that let us configure Fonts? If not, I'm probably switching to Firefox or Chrome asap.

You can. Go to the "Advanced" tab of the Preferences window, and under "Style Sheet" select a file that has the font spec you want in it. All you need is for the file to have something small in it, like this:
body {
font: 12px "Lucida Grande";

Using the value "Image/*" for the accept attribute of the HTML input Element, how can I add .pdf to the array of preconfigured file types (.jpe, .jpg, .jpeg, .?

On a form, using the value "image/*" for the accept attribute of the HTML input Element, how can I add .pdf to the array of pre-configured file types (.jpe, .jpg, .jpeg, .gif, .png, .bmp, .ico, .svg, .svgz, .tif, .tiff, .ai, .drw, .pct, .psp, .xcf, .psd, .raw)?
Say I wanted to add .gif, .jfif or .ico. I find this array limited, how can I add types to image?
<input type="file" name="file" accept="image/*" id="file" />
mimeTypes.rdf does not seem to allow this.

''mimeTypes.rdf'' has nothing to do with web development. It's a file that stores your file handling preferences (e.g. if you want ZIP files automatically saved or opened).
You can't change the file types of the pre-defined content specifiers (audio/*, video/*, image/*), but you can specify additional MIME types. To add PDF to your above example,
<pre><nowiki><input type="file" name="file" accept="image/*,application/pdf" id="file" /></nowiki></pre>
