Why aren't some RH styles working in WebHelp?

All,
I can't get bullets or simple indents to display correctly in WebHelp and can't see what I'm doing wrong.
We're using TCS 3.5, FM 10.0.2.419, and RH 9.0.2.271. We're single-sourcing content from Frame to output in (1) PDF and (2) WebHelp.  We have one set of FM templates and, if possible, wish to avoid having to have one set for PDF and one for WebHelp.
We want to generate WebHelp from Frame without using RoboHelp, but we are forced to at least set up a RoboHelp project and link our FrameMaker book in order to get functionality we need in the WebHelp.  Otherwise we wouln't use RH at all. 
I created a RH project, linked my FM "online help" book (a special FM book that contains selected chapters from two print books), generated topics in RH (File>Update>Generate), set a few project settings in RH (File>Project Settings), updated the book in RH (File>Update>Update All), and saved all. Then I closed RH, opened FM, and published (File>Publish), specifying output type (WebHelp), output location, and the location of my RH project. The WebHelp I get is functional but now I need to define styles.
Last week I could not find an easy way to define styles in my css via RH unless I had previously defined my styles in RH's Conversion Settings window (File>Project Settings>Edit>Import tab>Edit FM Settings button). So I have been defining styles there, applying them to the RH project, and occasionally exporting them to an isf just to have a backup.  When I next generate WebHelp from FM, I point only to the RH project, not the ISF, because the styles are defined in the RH project (I apply them to the project by clicking Apply and OK).
Using this process, for some styles (bullets and indents, for example), the definitions I have in the RH Conversion Settings dialog box are not reflected in the WebHelp output.
When I look at the css in RH (File>Project Settings>Import tab>default.css Edit With RoboHelp CSS Editor), what I see is what I see in the Conversion Settings dialog.  So why aren't some of the settings I specified in the Conversion Settings window reflected in WebHelp?
Any ideas are most appreciated!
Susan

I haven't got any experience using the "newer" Generate function in FM, but it seems to not give you much control over how stuff comes out vs. the "standard" way of using RH with linked FM content. RH is just the tool for creating WebHelp, just like Acrobat is the tool for creating PDFs.
There's a couple of ways to control how stuff appears when doing the FM to RH to help route - one is to use a FM template within your RH project that has all your mappings in it - Matt Sullivan often recommends this approach and there's more info about it on his roundpeg.com blog.
The other way is to set the conversion settings and then use a customized css to be used in the SSL recipe to be applied to all topics when the help is created.

  • Why aren't some classes (like Point2D) Serializable

    Why aren't Serializable so many of the classes of Java2D ? (I've seen some other users are complaining about this too). In 1.4 the situation remains the same. If there is a reason I wouldn't mind but I don't know it. Is this a mistake or is there a good reason about this ?

    Yes, Serializable classes can be convenient, but for potentially high-volume objects like Point2D the overhead of using standard serialization dissuades it's use.
    Personally, I never have cared for standard Java serialization -- it's bulky, slow, and sometimes unreliable. I prefer a scheme which favors speed and a low profile. I've written an XML serialization mechanism for Java which accomplishes both. And nearly every class I write that is serializable (using my method) also implements Externalizable making them standard Java serialization friendly. The read/write methods of Externalizable simply forward to my serialization interface methods e.g.,  public void readExternal( ObjectInput in ) throws IOException
        readXML( new XMLSerializer( in ) );
      public void writeExternal( ObjectOutput out ) throws IOException
        writeXML( new XMLSerializer( out ), this );
      }

  • Why aren't some of my links working on Safari?

    I'm on the most up-to-date version of Safari but for some reason some links just don't work.
    I've noticed they are specifically PDF format links that won't open or download.
    For my job, we use a website made by Oracle and when i go to check my pay stubs for that week, I can never open or download the link.
    Now i've noticed it's not just that website but on others as well.
    Should I download a plug-in or maybe switch browsers?

    Try another browser as a test.

  • Why does 'Copy Character/Paragraph Style' work so inconsistently?

    Is it just me, or do the 'Copy Character Style' and 'Copy Paragraph Style' format options barely ever work? Most of the time, I can't even USE the bloody CCS feature...it's greyed out. This occurs (for me at least) in both Pages version 1.0.2 and Pages '08. Any feedback is greatly appreciated.

    Jordan,
    There are a couple of Help Pages that may shed some light on your situation. They are: _Changing the Style of Text_ and _Copying and Pasting Character and Paragraph Styles_. As I often do after reading a post like yours, I tried to duplicate the situation. Before studying the help references, I would have had the same complaint that you do. I was only successful in getting the Copy Style and Paste Style Tools to work after I applied Styles to some text in my document. It seems that one may only copy a style from a block of text that has had a style applied, and so-called "overrides" won't be copied. So, it's not a "Format Painter" in the MS tradition, as it only looks at what Style has been applied, not how the formatting may have been altered.
    Hope this helps.

  • Why aren't some songs I've purchased through i-tunes not playing to their entirety and just skipping to the next song in my library?

    Hey guys. I'm hoping someone can please help me with this issue as I am becoming increasingly frustrated with my situation. I just recently purchased an i-Phone 4S and have been solely purchasing songs for it through the i-tunes store. For some reason though, I've been noticing that for multiple songs (this is currently still happening with random songs that I download from the store) that it will not allow me to play the entire song. One song that I download "Let me love you" by Ne-Yo will only play until right around the two-minute mark before it completly cuts off and continues to the next song. I've tried deleting the songs that this occurs with and re-downloading them, but this fails to work. I simply want to be able to listen to my songs in their entirety or there is no point in purchasing the songs through the store. Someone please help me? It would be greatly appreciated. I'm running Windows Vista on my Toshiba Satellite M305D-S4840 and have i-tunes 5.1.1 if that helps.

    I am having a similar problem, only all my old songs that I have purchased and some songs from cd's are playing about 2/3 of the way then skipping to next song. I just transferred all of my music back to my computer. The last songs I purchased are playing just fine. This song skipping carries over to my iPod that I restored last night as well. I am glad (but not glad) to know others are having similar issues.
    I hope this can be resolved.
    Updating to iTunes 10.7.0.21 does not fix this problem by the way...tried this earlier.

  • I activated my replacement phone but why aren't some of my pictures visible?

    Help pls?

    Some of what pictures aren't visible, and in which app ? If you restored to a backup of your old phone then any photos that were synced to its Photos app from a computer won't have been included in the backup - a computer's iTunes restore should pick them up from where you originally synced them from your computer.

  • Why aren't some signatures on MySDN?

    I went to MySDN and searched for signature 20020 but it can't find it. I searched for "Brute Force" and it can't find it. I searched for "HTTP" and it can't find it.
    http://tools.cisco.com/MySDN/Intelligence/searchSignatures.x
    This is not the first time. Which makes me think that MySDN should not be used as a definitive source for signatures. Any one know of a better place to go look up signature information?

    http://tools.cisco.com/security/center/search.x?search=Signature is not working!
    Using it to search for keyword http, no result returned.
    But using MySDN http://tools.cisco.com/MySDN/Intelligence/searchSignatures.x to search the same keyword, returns lots of information.
    Lastly, is there an offline copy of MySDN? This is because some restricted data centre do not allow internet access.
    Please advise

  • Why aren't some of my SJProfile0 classes included in the deployment?

    Hey all,
    I've seen variations of this question being asked before in this
    discussion forum but none that has helped me.
    I'm developing some stored procedures using SQLJ in JDeveloper
    3.2.3 and I want to deploy them on an Oracle 8.1.7 EE DB.
    However when I preview which classes the Deployment Wizard
    includes (the window entitled Dependencies) based on which .java
    and .sqlj files I check, the xxx_SJProfile0.class files are
    missing for four of the .sqlj files.
    My first guess was that it had to do with the dependencies that
    exist within the package; maybe those four files weren't needed.
    But having gotten a truck load of error messages saying that the
    file xxx_SJProfile0.class is missing has changed my mind.
    Does it have anything to do with circular references between the
    classes? Do you have to specify every dependency manually? Or is
    the cause of my trouble something completely different?
    Is it possible to specify manually which files that will be
    included in the deployment?
    Thank's in advance,
    Johan Behrenfeldt

    Hey again,
    I've traced the problem to be that one of the classes causes a
    ORA-29509 error (incorrectly formed Java binary class definition)
    although no errors appear during the compilation.
    That in turn leads to an ORA-04043 error (object does not exist)
    for the class.
    The three other files' not being included in the deployment may
    very well be tha cause of the one which is incorrectly formed.
    Hope this might help in determining the root of all my hassle.

  • Why aren't some of my songs in my Itunes playlist not syncing to my ipod?

    There is no exclamation mark, they all play in itunes, they are all mp3 format, there is room on my ipod, and they are not from different accounts, so what's going on?

    No, they're not going onto my ipod at all. In the end i had enough and downloaded different versions from other sites and they worked but i still want to know what is going on because if it happens again with more songs it will be difficult to re-do all of them.

  • Why aren't some artist included?

    I really want to listen to Berryz工房 (BerryzKobo) but there's no Berryz工房 radio. The group has several singles and album on iTunes.  Are there other artist effected? Is there a specific reason for this occurance?

    There are thousands of artists. Can't expect every artist to be available.
    The label they are with has not signed up with iTunes radio.

  • Why aren't some thumbnails being generated?

    Any idea what may be causing this?
    Screen shot here:
    http://img246.imageshack.us/img246/9484/picture3mih.png

    This happened once in my long experience with Aperture - support was no help. I ended up doing a hail-mary and deleted all of the thumbnails for the projects in question from the Aperture library package and then Aperture would regenerate them.
    If you try this make a good backup first or try it on a copy.

  • Why aren't some of my Virtual Copies labelled "Copy x"?

    I have been trying to be more organized lately and updated my virtual copy smart collection to "Copy Name - Isn't Empty". I was surprised to see It was only showing 9 VC's. If I filter attributes on All Photos, I show 195 VC's. The "curl" shows up in the grid and filmstrip, and the stack numbers also are visible in both places. There just isn't a COPY name when I look at the photo in the loupe and most don't show up in the Smart collection.  I've checked my loupe view settings and they are at "File Name andy Copy Name" Any ideas?
    I've deleted prefs and tried that, but no luck.
    I'm on a windows 7(64 bit) box, i7 920, 12 GB RAM.
    LR 5.2
    Thanks for any insight!

    Hmm.. - strange - did you confirm the copy name in right-side panel (in Library module) was blank too? e.g.
    eh?
    Do you think it's possible that you oopsed when editing metadata (e.g. with multiple photos selected in grid view) - it's easy enough to do. But I guess at this point the question is: how to repair?
    Would you use a utility plugin to repopulate those copy name fields if one existed?

  • Some Hyperlinks not Working in WebHelp

    I have several hyperlinks to .gif image files. I hyperlink to
    the .gif file and then choose to open in an auto sizing popup. Some
    of the links work, and others don't. I've checked to make sure that
    the properties for the ones that don't work are the same as those
    that do, but even after making everything the same, I still cannot
    view some of the files. Anyone have any ideas. I've gone through
    the forum and nothing I've come across, yet, has helped. I'd
    appreciate any assistance anyone could give.

    Thanks Rick. I just added my image file to the Baggage Files
    and the hyperlink now works. If you'll indulge me, though, I have a
    follow-up question. I'm using RH in the Adobe Tech Comm Suite. I
    actually added all my image files to the primary project folder and
    most of those image files are hyperlinked in my system, and the
    links work. Would you have any idea why some hyperlinks work and
    some don't? Also, would you suggest that I add all my image files
    to the Baggage to ensure the links work when I place the WebHelp on
    my server. Thanks for your help on this.

  • So i just got a new mac, and i am trying to sync my songs that i bought on itunes, and some of the worked, but a huge selection of them have a little exclamation mark beside it and it says it can't be downloaded, why?

    so i just got a new mac, and i am trying to sync my songs that i bought on itunes, and some of the worked, but a huge selection of them have a little exclamation mark beside it and it says it can't be downloaded, why?

    Hello Pork Chop 2,
    Congratulations on your new Mac!  It sounds like your purchased songs are not playing completely after you downloaded them.  I recommend to following steps for an issue like this:
    Symptoms
    Occasionally, if a song purchased from the iTunes Store on a Mac or PC was not downloaded completely, the song may not play back fully. The song may abruptly stop during playback, and iTunes may start playing the next song in your library or playlist.
    Resolution
    If iTunes in the Cloud is available in your country, try the following steps to resolve the issue:
    Delete the purchased song that is exhibiting the problem from your iTunes library.
    Click on the Purchased link in the iTunes Store to view your previously purchased music.
    Download your previously purchased song from this list.
    You can find the full article here:

  • I have downloaded a trial version of Dreamweaver CS6 to my MacBook. Why do some features not work?

    I have downloaded a trial version of Dreamweaver CS6 to my MacBook. Why do some features not work? I have OSX 10.6.8. I am using this trial version for a class I am taking on coding webpages using Dreamweaver. there are features I am using in class that will not open up or appear as options when I use the trial version. Are certain features locked out until I buy a copy or download a purchased copy?

    Trial versions have no functional limitations, though your setup/situation might not be supportive of all functionality.  You'll need to identify specific issues to get help with them.  You should be posting in the DW forum instead of here if your issue does not have to do with downloading/installing.
