Topic Footers Appear in Word Document

Topic footers appear in Word document. This seems to happen
when a snippet is used at the end of the topic.

If the offending snippet "is used at the end of the topic,"
as you say, then it's part of the topic instead of an actual
"footer." Headers and footers are added/modified/deleted with
either the Create or Edit Header or Create or Edit Footer button
activated (the left and right buttons directly above the Project
Manager tab pane).
When you display a topic and the middle editing button (Edit
Topic Body) is active, all topic content is displayed and editable,
whereas headers and footers are greyed out and uneditable.
In your last post, you say "Removed the snipet and
regenerated, still there." That seems strange.
Good luck,
Leon

Generate topics from a linked Word document failes

RH 9: Every time I try to generate topics from a linked Word document, RH failes and has to be shut. How do I solve this problem? or is this a bug in the application?

There is no Conversion Settings screen. Here are the steps I took:
1. Created a new RH9 project.
2. Right-clicked in the Project Manager and selected "Link | Word Document." (The message "scanning" appeared and then the MS Word document I selected appeared as an MSWord doc in the project folder.)
3. Once all editing was finalized, I right-clicked on the MSWord doc in the Project Manager and selected "Update."
There was no Conversion Settings screen. The MSWord doc now appeared as a single HTML topic in Project Manager.

Export to Word, Text does not appear in Word document

I have created a document in Pages which needs a table as part of it. I need to convert it to Word for work but when I use the Export to Word function it creates the Word Doc file but the table is blank - no text in the table at all? (Other text outside of the table is created).
Apart from that the formatting is not as it should be and some text (outside of the table) is incorrectly placed on the Doc file.
My fall back up to now has been to export to pdf (which works perfectly) and email that, but that stops it being edited at work.
Where should I be looking to make sure the text in the table in pages is exported to the Word document?
Or amn I expecting too much?
I am using a retina iMac, Yosemite OSX. Thanks.

Pages v5 (any version) is none of the following:
Word clone
Predictable
Professional/business grade software
Complete
Entirely debugged
Thoroughly documented
Many have, and continue to report export problems with Pages v5. Since we cannot peer over your shoulder as you enter text in a table, or if you tried to make the table behave as if in MS Word, the best bet would be to drop Pages entirely and use MS Word in Office for Mac 2011 (update 14.4.7 or later). Then you will be able to stop gambling with document conversion, work in the native Word .docx format, and recover some lost productivity. Word, not Apple's Pages, is the corporate word processing standard — for a reason.

Change link to Word document

Hi,
I have a Word document inked into my project. Now I need to create a second chm from the same project. I need to reuse a lot of topics from the linked Word document. But because of the new requirements I need to change some tiopic titles etc.
I was hoping I could 'unlink' the Word document and use the topics as if they were imported instead of linked. That would give me more options to change topics as required to make them usable for both chm files.
Is this possible?
Thanks

Hi there
You should be able to make copies of the resulting HTML pages, then import the copies into a new project and change as you see fit. Wouldn't that work?
Cheers... Rick

What is "Adobe XI" - Reader, or Acrobat?
But either way, 'Save as Adobe PDF' is a Word function, independent of what Adobe software you have installed.

You select the printer properties and set the appropriate page size (I think there is a place to set it in PDF Maker too, but not sure). In the printer, this is equivalent to putting the proper paper in the printer.

Does the mail app display whatever is in the document without the ability to differentiate between hidden or non hidden images?
The mail app will not display fillable form fields in PDF files that can be seen in real PDF apps. I say real PDF apps because the form fields in PDF apps will not appear in the iBooks app either. IMO, iBooks is not a real PDF app.
So, I would say that the mail app cannot differentiate between hidden and non hidden items

How can I have a topic name different than the filename of a linked Word document?

I've encountered multiple issues with linking to Word files ...here's another one: If a Word document is entitled Feature_ABC, then upon generating the HTM after linking it, the HTM's filename and topic name are both Feature_ABC. As underscores are ugly in topic names and features can be renamed, I would hope that I could rename the topic to be different than the filename.
The Help documentation suggests this is possible by editing the Topic Name Pattern in the Word Conversion Settings dialog of Project Settings. However, reagardless of the Pattern entered, every time I generate or update from the context menu of a linked Word document the topic name remains the same as the filename.
Because the topic name is shown in the Search panel and browser tabs, it will be a little ugly and may even be confusing. It is possible to edit the HTML directly, but then the HTML is overwritten each time the Word documents are update and the great advantage of using linked documents is lost.
Is there a way to solve this problem?
Thanks in advance for any help you might be able to provide.

Thank you for your quick reply - just checked Multifox out.
It seems it still forces me to open a new window, while preventing the need for a new profile.
Why isn't it in the addons.mozilla.org ? Looks dangerous ...

A word document was emailed to me. I can open the document without a problem. Is there a way for me to type on the document.... to fill out the form? When I click the fields, the virtual keyboard does not appear.

If you want to edit a word document then you will need an app on your iPad that supports word so that you can copy them to it via 'open in' e.g. Apple's Pages app or a third-party app such as Documents To Go or QuickOffice HD

Why won't my Page Numbers and Footnotes from Swriter (OpenOffice) appear in .doc (MS Word) documents

I have written a book using Swriter (OpenOffice).
I have Footnote descriptions at the bottom of some pages and Page Numbers located at the top and bottom of each page) throughout the book.
I converted it to a .doc (MS Word) document for some people that have MS Word and the Footnote descriptions do not appear at the bottom of the specific page (the actual Footnote Numbers still appear in the specific sentence). Also, the Page Numbers do not appear at the bottom and top of each page.

Sorry, that isn't a Firefox support issue. Try the OpenOffice support forum. <br />

Word styles not appearing in Print Document Appearance dialog

My custom list styles in Style Mapping.dot are not appearing in the Print Document Appearance dialog when I try to map CSS styles to Word styles.
The styles do appear in the template when I open it in Word. They appear in the styles task pane whether I select "In current document" or "In use" in the Style Pane Options dialog in Word. The styles have the same name (such as "Bullet" or "Number") in Word as the CSS styles in RoboHelp.
I tried saving Style Mapping.dot as .dotx, thinking that RoboHelp 8 might work better with the current template type, but no help. I tried adding the template to the same folder as the Normal.dotm template is in and opening it there. No improvement.
Oddly, the built-in Word styles List, List 2, & etc and List Continue and its series appear in the Robo dialog, but the styles List Bullet and others in that series do not appear.
I suppose I could modify the list styles that do appear in Robo and map them to my CSS list styles, but that feels a bit like a desperate kluge.
Does anyone know what might be wrong, either with my Word template or with Robo, that might be causing what seem to be perfectly good Word styles to not present themselves for mapping?
Thanks again,
John

Peter,
I think your discussion of this problem could explain the situation and propose a workaround more simply than it does.
Based on your article, I assumed that Robo displays only the built in Word list styles such as List and List Continue (since those were the only styles showing up in the style mapping dialog and since your example shows matching a Robo style named List Mapping to a Word built in style named List). I assumed I would have to match my Bullet style to a style named List in Word, and match the indented bullet style to List 2, and so on. The actual situation is that Robo, for some godforsaken reason that only idiots would understand, will not show a Word style if any numbering (bullets or numbers) is applied to it. That is, one does not have to avoid a class of styles called “List styles”, one only has to avoid applying numbering to the styles until later.
Thus the workaround is to create the word styles (with names that match the Robo styles!) that contain every attribute you need EXCEPT the numbering. That is, I can link Bullet to Bullet and Number to Number and Indented Number to Indented Number, and so on and on, as long as I have all the Word styles in the template with their numbering set to None.
Then after I generate the document, I can modify the styles to add the appropriate numbering, and voila!
Currently scrolling the doc & modifying styles. Might be a glimpse of daylight.

Importing Word documents into Robohelp 8: topic content is in a text box

Hi
I think I am doing standard stuff, but I have never used the import from Word function in RoboHelp before...
I used file > import to import a Word document, paginating on heading1 and heading2. All is fine, except that all the text of every topic is contained within a text box.
Can I stop this happening? (Or fix it easily?)
(I hope it is not relevant, and don't want to go into this unless it is relevant: but the Word document was actually the printed output from another RoboHelp project.)
Thanks and regards,
Peter Braham

What I am thinking is that any Word import needs some cleaning up and the HTML is generally not good, blame Word for that. By importing the topics, you avoid that.
The document is not exactly tagged as "from RH" and other products may well create documents in the same way. Bottom line is the way the document is created in Word seems to mean you get this problem in RH. It would probably be quite easy to find a workaround for that but you are still left with a Word import rather than a better RH import.
These forums will testify to the number of problems Word imports can cause because of Word's code.

RH7 doesn't break Word document into topics based on headings

Hi,
Have been working with RH7 and Word 2007 for some time and everything was OK.
Yesterday tried to generate another Help by importing a Word document.
RH just didn't generate topics based on the headings.
The entire document was imported into a single topic - into a text box.
Any idea what the problem could be?
Thanks,
Rakefet

Sometimes the environment can mysteriously change so pagination was the place to start!
The next thing to check is the headings in the specific document Word. I've seen quite a few posts where further investigation reveals that the "headings" were in fact styles the author had created that were not the heading styles that come with Word. Is this possible here, is it one of your documents or someone else's creation?
Try creating a new project and importing a document that has imported correctly in the past. Does it still do so or does it too display this problem?
