Hello Tim, I could now solve it. I took the faulty files, kept going replace a part of it + publish until the exported PDF looked good. In the end, overwriting the topic title in the left Project Explorer with nonsense, save it and then enter the correct title again made the difference: fertig.png T...

Thanks for the offer, Tim.
I don't seem to get that solved and will send you a demo of my files.

I activated the word wrap checkbox but that didn't solve the problem. This is how the (almost) whole TOC looks like: TOC_error3.png There are many other entries that are displayed correctly, only these two have a problem. Isn't that an indication that there is something wrong with these specific ent...

Thanks so far. I haven't fully understood and must go step by step: What file is the PDF template? Is it the file at Templates & Skins > Templates used with this project > {custom_name}.mnl that looks like this TOC_error2.png My "problem" with this file is this: I have two different do...

Hello everybody, I just recognized that there is an error in my table of content. Two entries are not displayed properly. The attached screenshot shows what it looks like. TOC_error.png I tried to find something where these lines are different from others, but the chosen text style in Editor view or...

Hi Tim,

I found the reason for my problem.
It is the fact that I was using <%TOTAL_PAGE_COUNT%> in my Design Template.
Picked it up at https://helpman.it-authoring.com/viewto ... 30&t=12365 but didn't read the full thread at first

The "when you define" it refers to the original definition of the variable in Configuration > Common Properties > Text Variables. The name of the variable in this case should be TAB++ and when you use it you should just enter <%TAB++%> and nothing else. That is for normal, user-defined co...

Hello, exporting my project to PDF, I discovered that the numbering of tables and images is mixed up. The numbers of the first tables in the document are 40, 50, 51, 52, 53, 54, 55, 56, 57, 58, 59, 60, 61, 62 With the numbering of images it is similar. According to the explanation at https://www.hel...

Hi Rainer,

thanks for sharing your ideas. I just recognized your post.
At the moment bullet points are not that high on my priority list anymore but I keep collecting ideas and see what I can use of it in the future.

However, there is another way: If all the styles in your projects are really identical -- i.e. have identical names and style tree structure, you can simply import them directly. You would store two dummy projects, one each as a container for the two versions of the styles. Then when you want to sw...

Hello Tim, one point I didn't think about is that repositories do not only contain style information but also a lot of topic files. In my case, there are some topic files that are stored in the old/existing repository and inserted from there with "Insert Snippet". Some of these topics were...

Okay, I see, using the repository is the way for me to go. What I am specifically interested in is using the repositories to create different layouts for one set of data. Would it be possible to * change the existing repository from "Link the styles of repository" to "Copy the style o...

Thanks, Tim.
You are right, the problem lies in the combination of a certain font that cannot handle italic.

Hello, a rather simple question: Basically, I am searching for an easy and quick way to change the font for one my styles. For this I clicked on the style, chose Styles and Edit styles. But then, all the settings (Font settings, Paragraph Settings, Border and background) were greyed out. How can I c...

Hello, something is wrong with the way variables are displayed in my PDFs. The following image shows what I mean: https://image.ibb.co/cYHMHq/greenshot-2018-11-06-17-42-38.jpg The name of the variable (in this case: # Name of the Variable #) is sometimes displayed correctly (like in chapter 1), some...
