Screen tips for images

In Webhelp generated from Robohelp for Word, images show a
screen tip with the path to the image when the mouse hovers over
them. If I generate Webhelp from Robohelp HTML, there is no screen
tip.
Is there any easy way to get rid of the screen tip from
Webhelp generated from Word (apart from editing out the alt
attribute from IMG items in the generated help files)?

Hi albertossjohn and welcome to our community
I do this all the time. Use the Image Map regions and enter
the tip text. And for the hyperlink, just type a pound symbol ( #

  • Screen tips in images without links

    I would like to create an image map, but instead of hot links
    at each place, I just want a different screen tip to pop up. For
    example, with a brief explanation of each part of the image.
    I can figure out a way to do this though. The image map is
    the closest I can see, but that requires you to have a link at each
    location.
    Any suggestions on how I can accomplish this? Thanks.

  • Screen Tips for Hyperlinks in PPT 2007 not working in Presenter7

    I have numerous hyperlinks in my presentation, each with a
    Screen Tip. Unfortunately,none of these are being carried over in
    the translation to Presenter7.
    Can anyone help?
    thanks

    Your link has an extra http:// in it. When I went to it, there is a sign in page that I generally will not use. Sorry, I have not seen the file as a result.
    As I understand your post, you are using the MS plugin for PDF conversion since you only have AA7 and need the links that are not available by printing to the Adobe PDF printer (assuming you got that to work in VISTA). You are then trying to open the file in Adobe (not Acrobat) Reader 9 and the hyperlinks fail. However, the hyperlinks work in AA7. Hopefully that is a correct statement of your problem.
    Are you sure you have the hyperlinks embedded, or just an appearance of hyperlinks. Acrobat and Reader will try to recognize apparent links and use them if they do. If you have the links embedded, then there should be no problem. I suspect that the links are not embedded.

  • RoboHelp HTML v7to9 Migrate issue, Screen Tip field in images' properties w/DHTML Drop-down hotspot

    Hey all, thanks in advance for any info you can provide.  All the RoboHelp references below relate to us using the respective version of RoboHelp HTML, and on my XP SP3 pc.
    For various reasons, we tried migrating our data from RoboHelp v7 directly to RoboHelp v9, but noticed this same issue also occurred when we tried to migrate our data from RoboHelp v7 to RoboHelp v8, as this was one of the reasons we did not use RoboHelp v8 as our production "version".
    I noticed that RoboHelp v9 (and RoboHelp v8) will not populate the "Screen tip:" area/field of the image's properties window with the existing Screen tip text, even though it is in the html code of the page and when viewing the page within RoboHelp (Ctrl-W) or through a browser like IE6 or IE8, the Screen tip text will display when hovering the mouse over the picture.  Only the RoboHelp v7 will properly display the text info in the Screen tip area.
    Please note, we have most of our images inserted in a DHTML Drop-down hotspot and use buttons associated with a java script to "Show All Images" (or "Hide All Images") and these examples are the ones that the "Screen Tip:" field in the image's properties did not populate in RoboHelp v9.
    Is there any easy way to get the ALT text to appear in the actual "Screen tip:" area/field of the image's properties window in RoboHelp v9, or must they be manually entered?  Otherwise, currently it shows up as all blank, as though we neglected to fill it in.  Is there an actual fix for this?  Thanks in advance for any info you can provide.

    Create a one topic project. See the Contact page on my site and send the project as instructed there. Do make sure you include a link to this thread and please do not email the project direct.
    I will open the project in Rh10 and generate webhelp.

    I've been taking screen shots for years and opening them from my desktiop. Suddenly, today, I've lost the ability to open them. I can right click on the picture and do "quicklook", but that's it. They just won't open.
    Similary, if I scan an image and save it as a PDF file in pictures, I'm suddenly not able to open it either!
    Why?

    Move the com.apple.screencapture.plist file out of /username/Library/Preferences/ to the Desktop, log out and back in, and try again.
    BTW, use the default 10 point setting for text. Your choice just wastes screen space.

  • Tips for blue screen (BSOD) errors with Windows Vista and Intel Turbo Memory on X61/X61s

    Important note: The symptoms and solutions described below address only a small subset of the possible causes for blue screen errors, aka BSOD.
    This information can help address blue screen errors specifically
    related to Turbo Memory, but may not solve errors related to other
    issues. Please read through the instructions completely, make sure they
    apply to your system, and after attempting the solutions please post
    back with your feedback for the community.
    Some users may experience random blue screen errors with ThinkPad
    systems running Windows Vista with Intel Turbo Memory hardware. These
    blue screens may occur during normal usage on the system or they may
    occur when booting into Windows Vista. Blue screens related to the
    Intel Turbo Memory hardware may reference a stop code of 8086 with
    memory address locations of {0, 0, 0, 0}.
    There are two main steps that you can take to help resolve blue screen issues related to Intel Turbo Memory.
    Step 1: Update Intel Turbo Memory Driver
    If the driver version is before version 1.0.1.1004-7.0.3.1001, please
    update to this version.
    To determine what version of the Intel Turbo Memory driver is installed:
    1.    Click Start, then click Control Panel.
    2.    Click System and Maintenance.
    3.    Click System.
    4.    Click Device Manager.
    5.    Expand the Storage controllers category.
    6.    Double-click Intel Flash Cache Logic Chip.
    7.    Click the Driver tab. Then you will see the driver version (for example, 1.0.1.1004).
    The new driver and installation instructions can be found here.
    Note: The Intel Matrix Storage Driver is updated with this package.
    Step 2: BIOS version
    If your BIOS version is older than those listed below, please update to the version listed.
    How to check your BIOS version:
    Turn off the system.
    Turn on the system.
    While the To interrupt normal startup, press the blue ThinkVantage button message is displayed at the lower-left area of the screen, press the F1 key.
    The
    BIOS Setup Utility menu will be displayed. If you have set a supervisor
    password, the BIOS Setup Utility menu appears after you enter the
    password.
    Check BIOS Version and Embedded Controller Version.
    Turn off the system.
    System BIOS versions:
    ThinkPad X61 or X61s - BIOS version 1.06 (7NET25WW)
    Please
    remember that these updates do not solve every possible system blue
    screen, but they do resolve several problems related to the Intel Turbo
    Memory driver.

    X60 Tablet SXGA+ primary, Z61p fully loaded workhorse

    Dear Tim,
    First off, many thanks for the tips for resolving BSOD with Vista + Turbo Memory on X61.  I've been suffering from this BSOD for countless times since I bought in my X61 7673-CW9 in April 2008.
    Even prior to having the pleasure to visit this wonderful forum, I followed both steps as indicated, and updated my Intel Turbo Memory driver to 1.5.0.1013 and my BIOS to 7NETB4WW (2.14).  However, the BSOD recurrs.
    For the past two months, I've recovered my system to factory default settings using Rescue and Recovery for over twenty times, each time with the latest Intel Turbo Memory driver and BIOS.  Notwithstanding that, BSOD recurrs.
    During these painful experiences, I tried two options: 1) making my X61 up-to-date by using System Update and Windows Update (including Vista SP1 or excluding Vista SP1); 2) keeping my X61 the status as factory default (i.e. without updating through either System Update or Windows Update (the automatic/scheduled update function of both is turned off)).  In either case, BSOD recurrs.
    I'm 100% positive that the BSOD does not arise from any hardware or software/firmware I install.  I never install any hardware (e.g. RAM).  And, it is not caused by any software/firmware I install: the clear and unequivocal evidence is that at one time,I encountered BSOD while having restored back to factory setting and booting for the first time.
    I live in Taiwan, and I seldom heard this BSOD here.  All of my friends (as most of Taiwan residents) using X61 operate in Traditional Chinese environment, whereas I operate in English environment.  In Taiwan, when booting for the first time after purchase/recovery, the Windows Vista Business system provides for lanuage choice (Traditional Chinese or English), and, once chosen, the language cannot be altered later on (unless, of course, the system is restored back to factory default settings).
    My system specs are the same as the day I purchased it and are listed below (as I'm not sure if my machine type X61 7673-CW9 is applicable outside Taiwan):
    Processor: Intel(R) Core(TM)2 Duo CPU T8300 @ 2.4GHz
    Memory: 1.00 G.B.
    System: Windows Vista Business (32-bit)
    Hard Drive: 160 G.B. @ 7,200 r.p.m.
    And, of course, with Intel Turbo Memory 1 G.B.
    I contacted the Lenovo support staff here in Taiwan for countless times, but they seem to be clueless.  I learned that some friends at this forum downgraded their OS back to Windows XP, but I chose not to.  The reason is simple: my purchase price for X61 7673-CW9 includes the Intel Turbo Memory, which cannot function under Windows XP (at least so far).
    Therefore, I just wish to share my experience here and perhaps I can get some advice from you and other friends here.  Any advice will be tremendously and enormously appreciated.

  • Tool Tip for a screen field.

    Hi,
    I have a step loop defined in a screen. I want to show tool tip for the each column. Please let me know how can i do it?
    I would really appreciate it.
    Regards,
    Sanjeev

    hi,
    �� If the meaning of a button cannot be perceived because of short or abbreviated label texts, a detailed description should be available in a tool tip.
    • To insert a tool tip, proceed as follows: In the Screen Painter element list, choose the “General Attributes” tab and the “Property List” column; or the “Properties” pushbutton in the “Layout” display on the “Attributes” window. Insert the “TooltipText” property to assign a tool tip. This function is only avail-able with R/3 Enterprise or Basis SP 44 (Release 4.6C) and higher.
    �� Always provide a tool tip on icon-based buttons.
    �� If a button contains both a text label and an icon, the button must have a tool tip that in-cludes the text description of the meaning of the icon. If the label text and the icon both convey the same information, no tool tip is required if the text is recognized by assistive technology.
    �� If a keyboard shortcut (e.g. Ctrl+F3) is available, add this information to the tool tip text.
    �� If a button handles the “Enter” keystroke, the button’s tool tip should provide this “Default Button” information.
    �� Recommendation: Important buttons provide an optional icon and a mandatory caption text. Align important buttons in the order in which they are read: in Western countries, the most important buttons are aligned left. Standard buttons (such as “Save”, “Back”, “Search”, “Next Object”, or “Previous Object”) should not have an additional caption text.

  • Creating a "Tool Tip"  for an image

  • Since backing up my iPad air and installing IOS 8.1.2 the screen doesn't move between landscape or portrait when I turn it. Any tips for getting it to do so?

    Since backing up my iPad air and installing IOS 8.1.2 the screen only shows the portrait view and won't change to landscape view when I turn the device. Any tips for getting back both views?

    If you see a lock icon in the upper right corner of the screen - then the screen orientation is locked.
    Try the side switch above the volume rocker first and see if that unlocks the screen. If that didn't work, swipe up from the bottom of the screen to get to the control center and the lock icon is in the row of icons at the top all the way to the right.
    If the screen is unlocked but still will not rotate, reset the iPad.
    Reset the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the button

  • Can Screen Tips be output as Alt Text from RH HTML to Word 2007?

    I have a large documentation project that is single-sourced in RH HTML to create WebHelp and printed documentation. My expectation is that if I put screen tips in the image properties, these will be converted to alternate text both in WebHelp and printed documentation. WebHelp is fine. I output to Word 2007 because document cleanup is always required. In my Word file, the screen tip is gone, replaced with the document file path. When converted to PDF, that's what appears as alternate text. Is there any way to get this done short of entering the text twice (in RH HTML and again the Word doc)?

    When they upgrade you, RoboHelp will have to be reinstalled and that may fix the problem. You are creating the link using the Rh menu rather Word's menus?

  • Irritating Tool Tip on image file location

    My complied web help (RoboHelp Word) shows an irritating tool
    tip on the location and file name of the images when the mouse is
    placed over the images. How do I disable this?

    Hi jothi21 and welcome to our community
    Personally, I try like heck to avoid mixing Word and
    RoboHelp, but it does appear here that you actually LIKE this
    combination.
    If this were RoboHelp HTML. I'd tell you to double-click the
    offending image and look in the
    Screen tip field. I'm hopeful here that Word might offer the
    same thing if you double click your image there. If not, try right
    clicking the image and see what options you have. The goal is to
    see if RoboHelp will offer some option to insert the same thing in
    the RoboHelp for Word version.
    Cheers... Rick

  • Screen Tips within RoboHelp 7

    I am still a new user with RoboHelp 7 and I am trying to configure screen tips.
    Now I am able to access a section of a project and doubleclick on the images to assign a screen tip to them and it shows up when I preview.
    What I would like is a way to apply a screen tip that a specific image, so that when it is used anywhere else within the project that it shows the same screen tip.
    IE - like a save button image with a screen tip of Save

    Hi again
    You will likely find that in order to do that you will have to perform a copy and paste of an image containing the screen tip already configured. You might create one or more topics that have the images with the screen tips, then have those topics conveniently located in the Project Manager so it's easy to find and open them when you need to. Then copy the desired image(s) and paste into the relevant topics.
    Other than that, you could perform a massive Find and Replace operation to populate the screen tips.
    Further, note that screen tips don't work in Firefox. At least they don't for me.
    Cheers... Rick

  • Screen Tips - Display Time

    Greetings,
    Using RX7 to create a project which has images and uses
    screen tips to explain fields.
    The tip displays for approximately 10 seconds; is it possible
    to have the tip display for a longer period? If so, how?
    Thanks

    Hi there
    In addition to what Colum offered, you may be interested in
    OverLib.
    Click here to visit the
    OverLib page
    Unlike Colum, I've never considered the duration to be
    controlled by the application. I suppose it's entirely possible.
    I've always figured it was just a built in function of the
    operating system.

  • In converting a .docx file to .pdf the the Word functionality of linking screen tips to hyperlinks is lost. Why?  How can screen tips be saved in pdf if at all?

    In converting a .docx file to .pdf the the Word functionality of linking screen tips to hyperlinks is lost. Why?  How can screen tips be saved in pdf if at all?

    Thanks for replying. I am converting from MS Office Word document to Adobe Acrobat Document and opening with Reader XI - sorry my mistake.
    I now notice another problem. On trying to open a specific hyperlink in the pdf version I get the message  'Acrobat does not allow connection to: www.biblegateway.com'.  Why would there be a restriction?

    I have a Macbook Pro 15" that is three and a half years old.  Although it has slowed a bit, it still runs well and runs every program I need. Any tips for how to keep this old computer running well and in good health?
    I have a 250 gig drive and try to keep at least 100 gigs unused at all times, 4 GB 667 MHz DDR2 SDRAM memory, back up with Time Machine and CrashPlan, and have OS X 10.7.3.
    This was my first Mac since an old Apple II GS.  After that I used PC's and got really good at reformatting, replacing drives, reinstalling, defragging, resolving software conflicts, etc.  Since switching back to Macs (five in my extended family now), I haven't had to do any of those things. So, although, the cost is three times as much, the aggrevation has been ten times less.
    I'm retired and living on a fixed income and would therefore like to keep this computer running as opposed to constatntly upgrading.
    That said, any tips?
    Thanks
    It does have a crack on the left of the screen case about 3/4'' up from the bottom.  I've posted that as another question.

    Kappy's Personal Suggestions for OS X Maintenance
    For disk repairs use Disk Utility.  For situations DU cannot handle the best third-party utilities are: Disk Warrior;  DW only fixes problems with the disk directory, but most disk problems are caused by directory corruption; Disk Warrior 4.x is now Intel Mac compatible. Drive Genius provides additional tools not found in Disk Warrior.  Versions 1.5.1 and later are Intel Mac compatible.
    OS X performs certain maintenance functions that are scheduled to occur on a daily, weekly, or monthly period. The maintenance scripts run in the early AM only if the computer is turned on 24/7 (no sleep.) If this isn't the case, then an excellent solution is to download and install a shareware utility such as Macaroni, JAW PseudoAnacron, or Anacron that will automate the maintenance activity regardless of whether the computer is turned off or asleep.  Dependence upon third-party utilities to run the periodic maintenance scripts was significantly reduced since Tiger.  These utilities have limited or no functionality with Snow Leopard or Lion and should not be installed.
    OS X automatically defragments files less than 20 MBs in size, so unless you have a disk full of very large files there's little need for defragmenting the hard drive. As for virus protection there are few if any such animals affecting OS X. You can protect the computer easily using the freeware Open Source virus protection software ClamXAV. Personally I would avoid most commercial anti-virus software because of their potential for causing problems. For more about malware see Macintosh Virus Guide.
    I would also recommend downloading a utility such as TinkerTool System, OnyX 2.4.3, or Cocktail 5.1.1 that you can use for periodic maintenance such as removing old log files and archives, clearing caches, etc.
    For emergency repairs install the freeware utility Applejack.  If you cannot start up in OS X, you may be able to start in single-user mode from which you can run Applejack to do a whole set of repair and maintenance routines from the command line.  Note that AppleJack 1.5 is required for Leopard. AppleJack 1.6 is compatible with Snow Leopard. There is no confirmation that this version also works with Lion.
    When you install any new system software or updates be sure to repair the hard drive and permissions beforehand. I also recommend booting into safe mode before doing system software updates.
    Get an external Firewire drive at least equal in size to the internal hard drive and make (and maintain) a bootable clone/backup. You can make a bootable clone using the Restore option of Disk Utility. You can also make and maintain clones with good backup software. My personal recommendations are (order is not significant):
    Carbon Copy Cloner
    Data Backup
    Deja Vu
    SuperDuper!
    SyncTwoFolders
    Synk Pro
    Synk Standard
    Tri-Backup
    Visit The XLab FAQs and read the FAQs on maintenance, optimization, virus protection, and backup and restore.
    Additional suggestions will be found in Mac Maintenance Quick Assist.
    Referenced software can be found at CNet Downloads or MacUpdate.
    Be sure you have an adequate amount of RAM installed for the number of applications you run concurrently. Be sure you leave a minimum of 10% of the hard drive's capacity as free space.
    Adding more RAM, if feasible, and a new, faster hard drive may also help pep it up a little.
