RoboHelp won't reset window size

Good Afternoon,
I'm trying to reset the size of the help browser that
displays. I know that this is done through the Window Properties
dialog box. I've reset it multiple times, but it just keeps
displaying in the old size. I even tried to delete the window
properties and then recreate them. Does anyone have any suggestions
on how I can get RoboHelp to apply the new size settings?
Thanks!!!!
Angela

Hi Angela
When you are looking at the Window Properties, what do you
see for the option labeled "Remember Window Size and Positon"? (You
find this in the lower left corner of the dialog)
If this setting is enabled, there are only a few ways to
force a change.
1. Before closing the help file, move and size it as you
desire it to open next time.
2. Rename the .CHM file name so Windows registers it as a
different file. For example, MyChm.CHM might change to MyChm1.CHM.
3. You could search and destroy your hh.dat file. I woudn't
recommend this as it could impact other .CHM files in your system.
Cheers... Rick

Some programs won't remember window size and position

I have a couple programs, notably ComicNerd, that won't ever seems to remember window size or position from quit to restart. I can't seems to find any evidence other people are having the same problem with the program, so I assume it's something wrong with my computer. Anyone have any idea how I can fix this? Is there some permissions problem or something?

It's likely a corrupted Preference file
Look in your Users/Library/Preferences folder for .plist file with ComicNerd in it and just move it to your desktop and restart the program/computer.
The preference file should rebuild itself, so look for it and if it's in the Preference folder then delete the one on the desktop.
You also might want to run ALL the cleaning and maintenance aspects of the free OnyX and reboot.
http://www.titanium.free.fr/
the Verify > preference (show only corrupted) should also help locate other corrupted .plist (Preference) files for similar action like you did above.

[SOLVED] KDE won't remember window size or position

Everytime I start dolphin its a small window, or if I open anything with kate the window is only 5 lines long. How can I have kde always remember the window sizes it was previously at?

There are tons of options there, have fun.

Thanks. I always thought this was enabled by default and maybe something was off. Guess not.

Firefox won't remember window size within the window

The size within the window will not remember it's size.
By either using the - / + or "Ctrl" & scroll wheel to change the size within the window...Firefox won't remember and when you go to the next window or link or tab or new page or whatever it goes back to the size it wants to be at (like a default size).
How do we get it to stay the same size for every page?

You can use an extension to set a default font size and page zoom on web pages.
*Default FullZoom Level: https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/default-fullzoom-level/
*NoSquint: https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/nosquint/
Make sure that you do not run Firefox in permanent Private Browsing mode.
*https://support.mozilla.com/kb/Private+Browsing
*You enter Private Browsing mode if you select: Tools > Options > Privacy > History: Firefox will: "Never Remember History"
*To see all History and Cookie settings, choose: Tools > Options > Privacy, choose the setting <b>Firefox will: Use custom settings for history</b>

Pages won't remember window size

I have a document that is 11 x 17. It opens in a window too small to view the entire document. Is there a way to change this?

Pages 5.2
MAC OS 10.9.3
Default zoom 125%, currently set to 100 on the document in question.

Terminal.app won't return window to default size with open tab

I regularly have multiple Terminal.app windows open with multiple tabs open in them. If I have a window open with no tabs, I can drag scale the window to whatever size is convenient for me at the moment, then use the Window > Return to Default Size function to make it go back to my default size configured in the app preferences.
The problem comes when I have a window open that is already scaled to a different size and I open a tab. This resets the default size to whatever size the window was when the tab was opened. The result is that if I use the Window > Return to Default Size function, it does nothing, unless the window has been scaled again, then it resets the window size to what it was when the tab was opened, not the default size configured in my preferences.
Is this a feature, or a bug? Is there a way I can make it retain the default size dimensions even when I've opened a tab?

I would solve the problem by resizing after closing the added tab. However, your inquiry is really beyond my abilities. Questions do get answered in these forums; sometimes not, in which case resorting to Apple Support _may_ resolve the issue. Have you checked out posting under "Mac OS X Technologies"? I believe there are Unix sections to that forum. Good luck.

How to reset the default window size

Hi!
I played around with the different layouts of Adobe Connect Pro and somehow got a real chaos of window sizes and window positions when changing the resolution as well. How can I reset the layout to the default layout settings (window size, window position, which window should appear)? At this moment I cannot move a windows because it's too big to move or resize it.
Is there a possibility to undo these changes?
Thank you!
Best regards,
Thomas

Fireworks won't remember the open/save as window size?

Hi,
Fireworks won't remember the open/save as window size. It always displays the same small window size. Deleting the preferences hasn't helped?
Thanks.

Thanks for the response.
Yes good point. It's Fireworks CS6 v 12.0.0.274 on Mac OSX v10.9.5.
I didn't have this issue with CS5.5 on 10.9.5, only started with CS6.
Anyway, you're probably right re living with it.
Maybe someone has experienced the same issue and found the reason.
Thanks again.

How To reset Safari window size back to original factory setting?

How To reset Safari window size back to original factory setting?
I resize my pages often but I don't want to always keep them at random sizes. I want to know the proper method to reset the webpage size back to it default size. Right now it's too wide, and I click the green plus button in the upper left corner and it goes down to a very small size, I click the green plus again and it returns to the Too Wide size. I just can't seem to get it to go back to the default size.
Thanks for your help!

You could try this. Set the safatri page to your convenience by dragging the bottom right hand corner of the page. Quit safari, then immediately relaunch. It should start up the same size as it was before you quit. Then ...
Go to Safari > preferences and set the page as your home page.

How can I save the window size so that when I restart Firefox the size of the window is appropriate for my portrait mode monitor?

I have a 2 monitor setup with my second monitor in portrait mode. Whenever I start Firefox (on my 2nd screen where I always open it) I always have to resize the window so it goes down to show more info. I cannot figure out how to reset any type of default window size for the height and width parameters.

Hi,
From your post, I assume you are creating WebHelp output.
You need to create a window for the help in the Project Set-up pod. Then, you need to make sure you call the output so that the window is used. See http://www.grainge.org/pages/authoring/calling_webhelp/calling_webhelp.htm. This article on Peter's site give you an overview over the possibilities of calling context sensitivive webhelp and also tells you how to specify the needed window. Also, the installation directory of RoboHelp 8 contains a directory called CSH API. In there are example API's your developer can use to call the help.

How can I adjust event window size while in day view on ical?

How can I adjust the all-day event window size while in day view on ical? I have thee all-day events, but they're just a little too big to simultaneously appear without having to scroll up/down the all-day event section.

CS5.5 Mac crashes every time I change Window Size in Design View

I'm using DW CS5.5 (version 11.5 build 5344) in Lion 10.7.3. I added in a couple of window sizes (in Preferences) that correspond to iPhone and Android phones - 320x480, 480x320, 480x800, 640x960. The 640x960 one works, as does a 592w one that came with Dreamweaver. Any of the other ones, though, cause the app to hang in this one particular file I'm editing. However, in the simple jQuery Mobile starter page DW creates, these resolutions work fine. This appears to be related to some CSS code that I have inside of a CSS media selector:
@media screen and (max-width:480px)
There is also a corresponding
@media screen and (min-width:481px)
in the CSS.
To test this, I created a window size of 481x320, and that seemed to work completely fine without crashing DW. The 480x320 one crashes DW. I assume that's because it's using the different CSS section.
Pasted below is the CSS code that goes along with the section that seems to cause the crashing:
@media screen and (max-width:480px) {
.column {
    margin: 1em 0;
    border-bottom: 1px dashed #7b96bc;
#visit, #points, #main {
    width: 100%;
    .taplist li {
    width:50%;
#map {
    display:none;
.header {
    display:none;
To further test this out, I commented out all of the code within that block. The window sizes did not cause it to crash then. I then started to add back in pieces of code to see when it began to crash. The crashing seemed limited to the bottom two (#map and .header), although it wasn't consistent. In some situations the window sizes would work and in others they would crash. I didn't test every combo just because it took a lot of time. With both of those in place, though, every one of the 480 or less sizes crashed.
Notable, the #map section is commented out in the HTML, however including that in the CSS still causes intermittent crashing.
I also deleted my cache file to see if that was it, and no luck.

Thanks very much Chris for pointing me in the right direction. I downloaded FontDoctor, and it found one questionable font which I deleted. However CS5 continues to crash when selecting the Design Workspace. So I followed the steps outlined in the Adobe document you linked. When I got to the point of downloading the FontTest.jsx file and ran it, CS5 crashed right away without writing any log file. I turned on app.displayDialogs = DialogModes.YES, and CS5 is crashing with a TypeError: undefined is not an object. So I don't know if this is related to my original problem, or not. Any thoughts on how to proceed to get the FontTest script to run properly? I took all of the normal defaults when I installed CS5 (e.g., didn't select any alternate paths, don't have any add-ons installed, etc.).

How do I get things to expand/contract with window size?

RE: www.hawaiihosa.org
I'm working on a website for my organization...and it looks
alright when the windows of internet explorer and firefox are
expanded...but when the windows are smaller, the heading remains
the same size, and the text moves behind my vertical menu bar on
the left.
Is there a way to make it so that the header is the same
width (with proportional height) as the width of the white area? I
think the white area is set to a width of 80 percent or something.
When windows are smaller, is there a way to make it so that
the text in the body of the pages stays where they originally were
(to the right of the menu bar...and not behind)?
Another thing not related to window size...how do I get the
text to be vertically in line on one side? Whenever write anything
and it extends below the menu bar, it uses the full white space. I
want it to have the same width of writing space as the rest of the
page. In other words, I want it to be constricted to the right of
the menu bar with the text being justified to the left.
Hopefully someone can halp us with this.
Thank you very much!
Maurice Nakamura
If you didn't get the url...its
www.hawaiihosa.org

I would set the page to adhere to a minimum width. Add
min-width: 610px;
to your css as shown below. (this won't work in IE browsers
prior to 7
so if you want to support that google min-width for IE6)
.twoColLiqLtHdr #container {
width: 80%; /* this will create a container 80% of the
browser width */
background: #FFFFFF;
min-width: 610px;
margin: 0 auto; /* the auto margins (in conjunction with a
width)
center the page */
border: 1px solid #000000;
text-align: left; /* this overrides the text-align: center
on the body
element. */
To have the text vertically inline on one side as you put it
try adding
this to your css stylesheet:
#container p {
margin-left: 190px;
Instead of the width for the side bar being 24% make it 170px
as shown
below:
.twoColLiqLtHdr #sidebar1 {
float: left;
width: 170px; /* since this element is floated, a width must
be given */
background: #FFFFFF; /* the background color will be
displayed for the
length of the content in the column, but no further */
padding: 15px 0; /* top and bottom padding create visual
space within
this div */
You cant really make your header img grow/reduce in size as
the page is
enlarged or narrowed because it would distort. What you need
to do is
find a place to slice it into sections wherebay you can have
part of it
as a repeating background image i.e., the left and right side
of the
image remains on the left and right but the bit in the middle
repeats
itself as the browser window is widened and narrowed.
This needs to be taken into account when designing a liquid
page.
