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.

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 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)?

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.

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?

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?

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

I have connected my macbook pro to my tv via MDP to HDMI port cable, all that is showing up is the basic desktop image without any icons, what do i do to correct this

Your MBP is running in "extended desktop" mode, where the two screens together make one larger area to display windows. You can drag one or more windows from the primary (internal) screen to the secondary (TV) screen. By default, the secondary screen is off to the right of the primary screen.
If you would prefer the two screens show the same image, you want to switch to "mirroring" mode. You will have to pick a single resolution for both screens, which may look poor on one or the other.
Both the relative positions of the two screens in extended desktop mode and the switch to mirroring mode can be set in System Preferences > Displays > Arrangement.

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
Grayley

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.

Losing Screen Tips in conversion from ppt to Presenter

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

To retain the links, you have to use PDF Maker to create the PDF. PDF is typically shown as "create PDF" in OFFICE products with the current Acrobat. It may be under an Adobe menu item in your OFFICE product. If you print to the Adobe PDF printer (basically a ps printer), then distiller should be started automatically to complete the PDF. However, printing to the Adobe PDF printer or any other PS printer, does not preserve the hyperlinks. Prior to AA9, the links were added by the PDF Maker preprocessor to add PDF Marks to the PS file prior to starting distiller. I am not sure how it is done in AA9, but the same idea of the end result is there. The PDF Marks contained the information needed for the links.

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.

The Screen Tips feature is unique to Word and does not carry over into the PDF.

How to best arc image without distortion to fit curved cup template?

I have tried searching forum for this and I know it has been discussed before but not really finding what I need to do correctly. I have attached the layered image (reducing opacity so you can both template and image). The vendor provided me a flat template, not a path, to do my artwork. As you can see I need to arc the image without distorting to fit a cup template. I am more comfortable in photoshop but I can export to AI if necessary to complete which appears what I need to do via envelope distort from what I keep seeing. However, the template provided is not a path. I tried to trace template shape manually with pen tool and use envelope distort to arc my image to conform but it looked very distorted and no even close to what I was trying to achieve. I tried to do tradition arc warp in photoshop but it still seems to distort proportions. Steps on how best to do this would be much appreciated! I know there must be a easier/more efficient way to achieve this.

I would not trace the template and will simply use it as a visual reference for deforming (conforming) the image to it. You can make the template image transparent to certain degree using the Transparency panel so you can see through it then move its layer on top of all other layers and lock it. Scale and position your image in such way that at least two of its corners fit two corners of the template for example the two top corners and then its bottom edge is on the same level as the template.Then select the image to be deformed and in the control panel at the top of your screen click the Embed button which allows you to deform the image (edit: just noticed you wrote it is already embedded, so skip this).
Choose Object > Envelope Distort > Make it with a Mesh. and chose 1 for rows and columns. Make sure the Smart Guides are on (View > Smart Guides). With the Selection tool (white arrow) Shift click or drag a selection box to select the two points of one of the vertical sides of your image. Pick the Sheer Tool and first just click on the selected top corner point to set the reference point of the sheer then click and drag the corresponding bottom point to match it to the corresponding point of your template. You may hold Shift while dragging to constrain although the Smart Guides will do that by snapping to edge of the envelope if your mouse is close to it. Repeat this for the other side of image. To make the image curved, pick the Selection tool (white arrow) click a corner point which will display its handles, pick a handle that is on a horizontal side of the image and pull it up to deform the shape referring to the template. You may do this first roughly with all horizontal handles and then you can drag guides from the ruler when a handle is selected to snap a guide to it and use it to put the corresponding handle on the opposite side on the same level.
Once you have deformed the image to conform to the template, you can fine tune the distribution of the vertical deformation with the vertical handles of the corner points. You can grab a handle and drag it along the vertical paths of the envelope (the Smart guides will snap to it). Drag the vertical handles on one each side lower until you like the distribution of the deformation.
Try to follow my instructions and I'll clarify if you are stuck.

Take a look at the link shown below where drawing is done on a JButton -- you can draw your image on a JLabel too.

How do I make text sit on top of an image without it disappearing.

I am currently copying and pasting images with captions from quark express files to indesign cs6 files.
Everytime I copy and paste these images the captions which are on top of the image disappear behind
the image. How do I put the text back on top of the image? and in general how do you put text on top
of an image without it disappearing?

This is probably a really bad workflow that will end up biting you. I've not actually been able to copy a an image box from Quark and paste it into ID to test, so I don't know waht youare doing, exactly, but odds are you are not pasting a link to the image (doe sit show a link in ID's Links panel?). If not, you should be building this from scratch or opening the Quark file directly in ID (up to version 4 with out a plugin, later than that requires the Q2ID plugin from Markzware).
