There is no widow/orphan control. You can, however, include in a paragraph style that all lines of a paragraph must be kept together. Topics are *only* included on the Topics tab. You can elect to begin topics (at each level) on a new page, or on the same page. Content *can* be included on other tab...

In H&M, as good as it is, you definitely will not be able to match the level of formatting control that you would have in InDesign (or even FrameMaker) for any kind of printed output. (I'm assuming you'd use PDF for this purpose.) You definitely will not have *any* sizing control for inline grap...

The relative merits of blue-banana nonsense vs. biz-speak nonsense aside, I can see an argument for marking a single blank page, at the end, with *something*. But in most other scenarios, which usually fall into one of the following two types, I wouldn't put anything at all on the page. 1) New chapt...

Works like a charm. Many thanks, again.

Tim -- (I feel like I've read the answer to this before, but can't find it in the H&M Help or through a forum search . . .) Is it possible to substitute a non-breaking hyphen for an ordinary hyphen in H&M? Using the Microsoft Ctrl+Shift+hyphen doesn't seem to do the trick. DETAILS: In my cas...

Tim et al --

In the trivia department, our office is currently enduring a cutover to a new phone system.

Attached is a capture from some of the PDF documentation provided for the system.

Small world!

Martin -- Bear in mind that PDF files are intended for printing only -- making your users view PDFs on-screen is a cruel punishment This is a matter of opinion, of course. There is no such "intention" as far as PDF is concerned, despite its origins, and the restrictions resulting from usin...

Not certain, but the linked-to printer appears to be a thermal printer, and thus the "POS" means, most likely, that the output looks like a "piece of s___."

I most wholeheartedly second this request.

You can avoid the auto-scroll effect, when you move the cursor around the text editor and enter from the bottom. Not true, it seems, on my system. Dragging down through the TOC frame and then entering from the bottom of the editor, the topic content still jumps, and the bottom of the topic scrolls ...

I don't know if this is a relevant factor, but when I recreated this scenario -- twice -- before posting, when the "jump" happens (that pushes the bottom of the topic out of the editor window), in both cases after the jump the *top* of the content in the editor window was positioned at the...

Select and open a topic whose content well exceeds the size of the editor window. Scroll all the way to bottom. (Your target for the dragged link is now in view.) Select a topic link from the TOC and drag it into the editor window in the direction of your target. Editor content "jumps" so ...

Motion seconded! In my case, I frequently have a bulleted list of links to related topics at the foot of a topic's content. This list is frequently below the visible portion of the editor window. When I need to drag a link from the TOC to amend that list, the sloooooow scroll as I hover near the bot...

. . . or, alternatively (old argument, I know, Tim . . .) for PDF: respect the PPI (pixels per inch) setting for bitmap images, since PDF is really the only output format where that information has any real meaning. For instance, a global % resize doesn't really address my layout needs. I want *most...
