HI
I have a sentence set in Normal style.
I selected two words, and set them to Italics (separately).
The italicized words print in the .pdf offset several characters to the left. What am I doing wrong?
Thanks
Rob

Urgent question: When specifying a graphic to be included, can the full path be explicit or is it ALWAYS relative? That is, if there are other files with the same name in other , more 'senior' folders in the search path, will H&M always take the first occurrence? No way to specify \folder\filena...

Hi That's bad - but it's about what I was expecting (still, a person can hope, can't they!) Thanks for the quick response. Rob (Another possible solution would be if there was a way to include a .pdf as the content of a topic. Any chance?) (And a wild suggestion - Is it worth opening a Wish-list ite...

Hi I created many small projects to publish individual product installation guides. Each project has the same set of variable names (such as PROD_NUMBER, PROD_NAME, PROD_DESCR, etc.) To do this, I created one product guide, and then cloned it many times - I suppose I could have just made one and use...

HI I just updated a template to give me a 5-level ToC Seems fine - but all of a sudden I get one rogue ToC entry that seems to superimpose on another. I've looked briefly to see that Topic Names are OK - it seems that they are - there are 3 ToC entries in different places called 'Network' (dont ask!...

Received an update on the Toolbox (which Tim says will also be in the upcoming Maintenance Release)
Problem fixed!
Much thanks to TIm for turning around the problem so quickly!

HI I am trying to use the Toolbox to add Topic prefixes, and I am clearly dong something wrong. It goes like this: 1. I copy the project to a new folder. 2. Open the project using the Toolbox file explorer (using the dropdown to change the Search criteria to include 'Projects'. - Premium Pack Toolbo...

Thanks for the (as always) detailed and helpful reply. Our reason for merging the projects is that we had a Help file and a separate 'User Guide' in the days when people actually printed out their manuals. But they have grown apart over the last 5 years, however still with wide areas of overlap, a l...

HI (There's a lot of background, but I'll start with just a simple question) If we want to combine two old projects into one new larger one, then duplicate topic names are going to be a danger. Is there any convenient way to do a global rename of topics (such as adding an 'x' to all topic names in o...

Just to barge into the thread, I did put in a request to the wish list a long time ago for an equivalent to Windows F4 ('do it again') - I wonder if that will ever pay off?

Hi Tim
Thanks for the quick response as always - this is a great help.
No problem with length of time - we are using this for short documents that will actually be printed on paper rather than being read onscreen - I just don't want a field technician to think that he lost a page!

Hi We are drawing up a new 'sparse' template to handle simple 'box opening' guidelines. The documents will usually be single pages, printed both sides, but in a few cases may run to 3 or even 4 sides. I plan to use a custom pdf template with the front 'cover' page set up with embedded custom heading...

Hi I am outputting to .pdf. In the middle of the document, the document Heading2 level suddenly changes format, giving a weird half-line drop after the paragraph number, with the heading text lower. (screenshot attached). Numbering in preceding headings is OK. I have tried opening the .mnl, making a...

Thanks Tim. The problem only arose now when I was allocated a shiny new Windows 10 monster workstation. I was trying to find a workaround. I didn't know it was as final as that! Been using HHReg for years. Pity to have the rug pulled out like that, but it's of course not your fault. A WebHelp, etc s...

. . and now I have also tried mapping the drive in File Explorer - now I can see the mapped location, but I still cannot open .chm files in the target location.
