WinHelp 2000 Bookmark functionality

I also posted this yesterday under General Discussion.
We deliver WinHelp 2000 output to our programming team, then
they load it up to the server. As part of the testing process, they
created bookmarks to topics. When we delivered the next version of
the help project, the bookmarks were apparently cleared after it
was uploaded to the server and it overwrote the previous version.
Can we "fix" it so that the bookmarks are NOT cleared?
The RoboHelp for Word help file states that bookmarks are
stored in either the WinHelp.BMK or WinHlp32.BMK in \Windows, but
when I tried to search for it after I bookmarked a few topics in a
standalone WinHelp 2000 output, I couldn't find the .BMK file.
Is there any way to disable and hide the Bookmark
functionality from WinHelp 2000 outputs?
Thanks,
Jim

Jim -
Bookmarks go the way of the Annotations with each new
generation of the Winhelp file. sorry.
You can usually find the .bkm files in the applications/help
directory of your particular OS.
I can't seem to disable that particular menu element. Must
be a WH2000 dll issue.
Usually, this would work, in the Startup macros:
RegisterRoutine("USER", "EnableMenuItem", "uuu")
RegisterRoutine("USER", "GetSubMenu", "u=uu")
RegisterRoutine("USER", "GetMenu", "u=u")
RegisterRoutine("USER", "GetActiveWindow", "u=")
EnableMenuItem(GetSubMenu (GetMenu (GetActiveWindow()), 2),
0, 1027)
but it doesn't. I was wondering, would removing the entire
menu row do?
RegisterRoutine(`user32',`GetMenu',`U=U')
RegisterRoutine(`user32',`GetActiveWindow',`U=')
RegisterRoutine(`user32',`DeleteMenu',`U=U')
RegisterRoutine(`user32',`SetMenu',`Uu')
DeleteMenu(GetMenu(GetActiveWindow()))
SetMenu(GetActiveWindow(),0)

WinHelp 2000 with Word 2003

My company asked me to learn Robohelp and create a document,
so I learned from Adobe Robohelp 6 but they supplied me with
Macromedia X5. The HTML part works fine, but I need to create a
Winhelp 2000 hlp. output. When I import Word documents into Winhelp
2003, it spews out error messages, jumbles exhibits and headings,
and created Topics and Mid-topic IDs at random--that is, when it
doesn't lock up completely. Am I missing something? I downloaded
updates, so it should work with Word 2003, but its lack of function
is appaling. I have lost days trying to install and then debug this
software on this and am desperate. Is there a fix or a workaround?
I have downloaded a converter for chm to hlp, but it doesn't
output with the proper skin. Help! (And thanks)

Hi
Microsoft offers a compatibility pack for earlier versions of Office that allows, for instance, Word 2003 to open Word 2007 documents. More info:
http://www.microsoft.com/download/en/details.aspx?displaylang=en&id=3
http://office.microsoft.com/en-us/word-help/open-a-word-2007-document-in-an-earlier-versio n-of-word-HA010044473.aspx
There will be some Docx features that behave differently or are substituted when opened in Word 2003. These are listed in the second web page link.

WinHelp 2000 TOC only works on primary monitor.

First time posting here, hopefully the knowledge here can
help me out.
Using RoboHelp for Word 6 (Build 099) (O/S is XP Pro), I have
created a WinHelp 2000 out put that is approximately 2.5 meg.
The problem is the TOC only works on the primary monitor, as
soon as you move the help dialog to another screen the TOC fails to
function... move it back to the primary monitor and it works again.
Any ideas?
This is a big issue for me as it supports a CADD system and
all 500 users have dual monitors, and to make it even worse I need
to roll this out in a couple of days, and I only now discovered
this quirk.
Thanks in advance for any help,
Kelly

Thank you for your reply. No other program behaves this way, even PhotoShop CS4. It is related to how the program handles OS events.
It is probably a problem with the Windows WM_GETMINMAXINFO and WM_SIZE handlers. My guess is that program stores the maximized size (and it always fills the screen at start-up) and it query to see if it is dragged to a larger screen.
Of course, this theory doesn't address the disappearing program behavior when maximized on the secondary monitor. Since I don't have another OS, I cannot check if it is Vista related or Windows related. Because of the difference in architecture, I'd be surprised if it happened on a Mac, too.

Issue with Bookmark functionality (using java script) in WAD.

Hi,
I am working on a WAD report and instead of using the default bookmark functionality within WAD, i use a java code to get the bookmark url in a new window.
But the problem is the java code is not working consistently at all times.
Issue1: If i click on the bookmark button on the report for the first time, it will open up a new window with the bookmark link. But if i close that new bookmark url window and again click on the bookmark button, a new window is opened which displays the template corresponding to the bookmarkk generated earlier (the report in its executed form), instaed of the bookmark url.
Can anyone help me to correct this issue. At any time i click the bookmark button i want to get the bookmark url opened in the new window, instead of the template.
Issue2: The bookmark is not at all working at particular times. It will show error message at the bottom the page. What I am thinking is, this is because of the misalignment of the java code when you sava the WAD report. The java code is so sensitive that it gets realigned each time you save the WAD report. But sometimes even without making any changes also it is not working.
If anyone has any suggestion or inputs for solving these issues pleese help ASAP. The java code i used is given below.
function createBookmark()
var bwUrl="<SAP_BW_URL CMD='BOOKMARK'>";
child1=window.open(bwUrl,'win1','width=1,height=1,alwaysLowered=0');
window.focus();

//Set timeout to 3 seconds

//check if the bookmark url is ready and timeout after the specified time (delayTime).
while (waitTime<(startTime+delayTime))
now = new Date();
waitTime = now.getTime();
//BW identifies a bookmark using BOOKMARK_ID. The presence of this string

After upgrade from 3.6.28 to 12.0 I lost bookmark functionality

OS is Windows XP 64-bit SP2. Upgrade from version 3.6.28 to version 12.0 doesn't work properly because I lost bookmark functionality. Bookmark menu is there, but no bookmark entries.
- I tried to add a bookmark (visit a page, then 'bookmark this page'), but that doesn't work: no error message, but nothing is bookmarked
- I tried to restore bookmarks from previous Firefox (yes i previously made backup), but that doesn't work either. I tried that in 2 ways:
1) Show all bookmarks -> Import and Backup -> Restore -> Choose file -> bookmarks-2012-05-06.json;
I get error message 'Unable to process the backup file'.
2) Import and Backup -> Import bookmarks from HTML -> bookmarks.html;
I get no error message, but nothing is imported.
- I tried to rename places.sqlite to places.sqlite.old and start Firefox. Didn't help.
- I tried to uninstall Firefox and make clean installation (didn't keep old settings), but that didn't help either. Bookmarks don't work.
- In the past year I tried to upgrade Firefox 3.6.xx to previous versions (i think they were 4.x, 9.x, 10.x), but I ran into the same problem, so I reverted to 3.6.xx. Problem this time is that 3.6 is no longer supported, so upgrade is not optional.
Thanks in advance for your help.

A possible cause is a problem with the file places.sqlite that stores the bookmarks and the history.

Help needed for creating a bookmark function

Hi there,
I am creating an application which in a kind of way gives the user the possibilty to make the same things as he reads an ebook written in html as if he would read a normal book. He highlights some lines, he makes some bookmarks and he can take some notes. All the changes he makes are saved in a database
I finished the highlighting function and now want to make the bookmark function. What I imagined is sth like the acrobat reader's bookmark manager so I will put it on the left side of a splitpane. The user will be able to add or delete a bookmark in the html ebook with a name of the bookmark and the link and these bookmarks will be saved in the database.
Do you have any suggestions how I can solve this? Which api should I read/use, do you know some examples? How I can make bookbarks in some parts of the pages and not only the whole pages. I mean the the page will load after the press of the bookmark to go to a certain place in that page and not in the begging. In general some ideas how I have to work?
Thanks

It's a swing. I can send you the application if you want but it's 10 classes to post it here.

Bookmark Functionality

I have an idea for Adobe Reader that I got while reading a document with MicroSoft Reader. I know that I am able to select a word within the document and insert a bookmark on the page where the word was selected so that I am able to go back to that part of the document and start reading again.
The idea that I got was to include this function in a future version of the Adobe Reader program. Let me include two examples below.
You have purchased an ebook (any particular subject) and you open the document with Adobe Reader and begin reading it. You look at the bottom of the window in the status bar and see that the document is 450 pgs. You read about 100 pages and get too tired to read any more. What do you do? With the versions that are out now you have to close the document, exit the software and come back later to try and findthe spot that you stopped reading at so you that you can continue reading from there.
You have purchased an .lit file (any particular subject) and you open the book with Microsoft Reader and begin reading it. You can look at the bottom of the page and see how many pages there are in this book (450). You can only read 100 of the pages as you get too tired to read any further. You select a word, bookmark it, close MicroSoft Reader, and go to bed. You come back later, open MicroSoft Reader, open the book, go to the bookmarked page and start reading where you left off.
I know that some pdf files are more than 100 pages long, but I don't have experience with an ebook. Some of those could be several hundred pages long and the first example could happen. If Adobe Reader had a bookmarking function, it would be as easy as using Microsoft Reader, so that you could return easily to the page that you stopped on and start reading again.
If anyone else thinks that this is a good idea, go on and add your opinion to this page and maybe it will be added at some point in the future.

I found some of the comments to your original post quite interesting. I recently downloaded Adobe Reader X mainly for reading educational PDFs in an online investing class I'm taking. Many of the PDF's are in excess of 200 pages. Oftentimes, if not all the time, I can't read the entire document in one sitting, and I often come across areas I need to "bookmark," especially since there are quizzes along the way.
Like some of the posts here, I find "bookmarking" essential for "readers," especially those who read voluminous documents (I would hope most do, if only occasionally). While Adobe Reader is only for "reading," I would think the act of "reading" includes making notes along the way, and "sticking" a bookmark on a page as a reminder to go back for a concept or to re-read something that may not be as clear as it could be during the first reading. That said, just being able to return to the last page read, when the document is re-opened, falls well short of what I would think is a "reader" requirement.
Granted, this fine application is "free," and I do appreciate it, and I cope with the time-consuming effort of finding areas I wish to re-read. I have a paid-for PDF reader as well, but I have to pay separately to have it installed on every computer I use to take my classes, so, financially, I'm relegated to Adobe Reader X, whereas cost, or lack thereof, is the compelling factor.
Be that as it may, while I know I haven't used "every" PDF reader available, the few that I have used do have bookmarking functionality, save Adobe Reader. Furthermore, while I'm far from being a Programmer of software applications, I would think there were other additions incorporated in Adobe Reader that were more complex than bookmarking, I suppose.
So, while Adobe Reader is only a "reading" application, it's difficult for me to understand a complelling reason as to why that functionality hasn't been incorporated in the application several versions beforehand for those who take the act of reading to its limits.
With all due respect to all, I'm just saying ...

Bookmark function not working at all; lost all bookmarks and can't recover

I have lost all bookmark function, all bookmarks, and have tried all of the suggested tips for recovering them. I found the "profile" file within Help->Troubleshooting Info.->Application Basics-> but there's no information about what to do with it once you find it. It's an application apparently. I have quit everything running, restarted, etc. Nothing is working. Please help.

Thanks I've checked out the manual.
Under the "Data Transfer" menu there are two options "Server sync" and "PC synchronisation".
Neither are mentioned at all in the user guide!
I assume it's the latter I'm interested in, and all it does is give an option for a user name and password.
I've set a user name and password, but I'm not sure what they're for, there seems to be no option in PC Suite to put them in.
Any other guidance much appreciated!

Sqldev 4 EA2: Bookmark functionality

The bookmark functionality from earlier versions seems to have disappeared.
Am I right ?

It WAS missing. Bookmarks are back for the next EA.
Open procedure. Click on line. CTRL-SHIFT-5 sets 'Bookmark 5.' Go down a few lines, hit CTRL-5. Takes you back to bookmark 5.

WAD bookmark functionality

Hi ,
We have created custom query using query designer.
Created WAD application calling created query. Added additional buttons. Export to excel, bookmark,filters etc.
How bookmark functionality work?
user expectation : after entering input values in selection screen, he/she will result . After pressing bookmark button they can bookmark it. Next time when they access bookmarked query. it should populate automatically values in selection scree.
as per my knowledge. : users should use variant for selection screen. bookmark for out columns.
Which expectation correct?
Actual today issue is : based on first case everything working except if there is default variable.
Please comment on this.

Hi ,
Book mark will actually save the current link to the book mark of the browser. This way when the user executes the link they end up in the variable screen again.
The only option is to use the variants available int eh variable screen. the suers can input values the first time , save it as variant and then can re use it the next time.
Regards.
Shafi.

I just upgraded on May 11 and find I cannot open a fold for bookmarks. I research and bookmarks are my lively hood. How can I return the bookmark functionality?

MS 7 and long time user of Firefox so this is the recent upgrade of May 11. Unlike the prior bookmark functionality, I cannot indicate I want to bookmark a link and designate a new folder for a new topic in two to three clicks. This is critical to what I do for a living. How can I return the prior format and be sure bookmarks are backed up automatically. Does going back to the older and more functional tool bar restore this? And why does clicking the bookmarks toolbar show getting started, most visited and the printer icon? Getting started takes one to a new user set of instructions. But there are no functional operations in the tool bar? I am not going to go thru a lot of commands, this should be a automatic as before.

'' the bookmark facility is not functional in 29 ... Bookmark puts all bookmarks there into "recently bookmarked" ''
It does not.
It works much the same as the old system does. Or at least it should do and does do for me.
* Carefully reads the following article so you are certain what should be happening '''[[How to use bookmarks to save and organize your favorite websites ]]'''
# From an unbookmarked page click the bookmarks star.
#* That results in the bookmark being added, and yes initially it is just as an unsorted bookmark. (No doubt that is where most people put most bookmarks)
# IMPORTANT click the star a second time. (But not so rapidly it counts as a doubleclick)
#* You now have the options you had in the old version of Firefox Create new folders Save to a recently used folder Show all bookmark folders - and expand nested folders
If your bookmarks are not working possibly the file is corrupted in which case see
* http://kb.mozillazine.org/Bookmarks_history_and_toolbar_buttons_not_working_-_Firefox#Damaged_Places_database
I am hoping it is just that you are doubleclicking the star too quickly.

Error message when compiling WinHelp 2000

Hello,
I'm working a project in RoboHelp X5 using WinHelp 2000 to
create context-sensitive help. I have been working on this project
for about a week now, and just this afternoon started getting an
error whenever I attempted to compile. The error pop-up reads:
"hpj2hlp
The WinHelp Wizard encountered an unexpected error when
attempting to generate WinHelp."
Is anyone else familiar with this error message? How can it
be fixed?
Thanks!

Kathryn,
The two or so times I got that kind of message, they turned
out to be due to corrupted .rtf files. The solution that I found
and applied successfully was to delete all of the .rtf files from
my project folder in Windows Explorer (not in the RH environment),
open the project, make a minor change to the default .doc file
(simply add a space, then delete it), click the Save All button in
the RH Explorer pane, then the button for compiling and generating
the WinHelp file - doing all that forced RH to regenerate the .rtf
files for all of the .doc files (the source files), and the
regenerated .rtf files were "clean" - the project compiled nicely
and resulted in a good WinHelp file. I hope the same works for you.
Good luck!

Word Styles don't Match WinHelp 2000 style Output

I've got my styles set up in the RoboHelp Word Document but
when I generate the output the styles and font do not match eg:
arial font in the WinHelp word document becomes times new roman in
the WinHelp 2000 Output. We've deleted all of the normal .dot files
after closing RoboHelp and Word, but that has not seemed to make
any difference. Has anyone else experienced this problem? Does
anyone know of a solution?

Thanks for the help. For anyone interested, the patch to the
problem can be downloaded here:
