Hello, I posted this first in Help Authoring, but did not get a response. I've just started with H&M, and have introduced toggles (inline text and tables so far) into our chm help. We also are producing a PDF user guide from the same content. My question is: What is everyone doing with toggles i...

Tim,

Thanks for the quick response. I've tried to reproduce it here and have been unable to since the forst occurence. I'm not sure what I did to "fix" it, but if it happens again, I'll let you know.

Hello, Hopefully this is the correct forum, feel free to move this if it is not. I've jsut started with H&M, and have introduced toggles into our chm help. We also are producing a PDF user guide from the same content. My question is: What is the general consensus in regard to toggles in printed ...

A quick follow-up to this issue. The problem occurs when I have the Paragraph alignment set to Justify. I changed it to Left and it was OK.

Hello, I have added a new style, called Notes2, basically a copy of Notes with color, left and right indent of 0.50 and border changes to single line top and bottom. In the HTML help it looks fine, but in my PDF output the background color is correct but the text extends past the right indent (see a...

Tim, I have downloaded TNT to test with HM5. I thought I had read about a hotkey combo, but couldn't find it again when I went to use it.

I tried using the snapshot tool with menu option selected, but of course, on Vista, the whole menu is a series of little windows, and I would like the whole corner if possible. I tried w...

Waldemar, Thanks so much for the quick response. I had found the Edit Styles. I was just going to base all my styles off of Normal and switch between Verdana when publishing chm's and something else when publishing PDF files. Didn't even NOTICE the two tabs in the middle - must be blind. This is per...

Hello, I've got an H&M5 project created from an imported ForHelp .hlp from that contains only popups. The original hlp from ForHelp did not have a TOC (no .cnt file). We need to move away from the .hlp (since Microsoft has spoken :wink: ) but like the popups. Converting to chm gives us full page...

Hello, I am currently evaluating H&M5 and so far I am impressed. I've been doing the user guides/on-line help using a combination of ForHelp, Word, Snag-it, IrfanView. We create on-line help as chm and a PDF user guide generated from the Word document gets shipped with our software. Doing it thi...
