Never mind, I figured it out. Also figured out how to change the background for the TOC pane!

Great! That sounds easy enough. Are there any guidelines about the size of the image for best results?

I am generating WebHelp using the skins from Premium Pack 2.50. Because of some design changes in the product I'm documenting, I would like the tabs (topic, index, search) to appear with square corners rather than round. I see that the Metro skins use this style, but I don't like the grid design in ...

Thanks Tim, I just this minute emailed you all the files you requested in your earlier post!

I get the same results as the tester, and our environments are similar. O/S: mine is Windows Ultimate 7 SP1, hers is Windows 7 Professional SP1 Hardware: mine is a Dell Latitude E5510, hers is a Dell Latitude E6320, so basic laptops, no touch screen Browser: we're both using the latest version of Ch...

Hello, one of our testers has raised some navigation issues (for lack of a better term) with the online help when viewed in Chrome. 1. The Undock and New Tab buttons are not present on the toolbar, and the Tabs menu does not appear in the tab row along with the topic, Index, and Search tabs. 2. Afte...

Thank you for the quick reply. I'll pass along the info (and suggest we reject this bug ).

Hello, I have an issue that was reported by one of our testers as a bug. I am generating WebHelp using a very slightly modified skin and Help & Manual 6.4.1. This bug occurs with Internet Explorer 9 and 10, but the feature works correctly in Chrome. Here's the problem: if you type something in t...

How strange. I have been compiling the help to the same location c:\Users\LHeckman\Documents\My HelpAndManual Projects\Excel AddIn Help\ for several release cycles now. (And as I am LHeckman, that *is* my own documents directory.) I did notice that a ~tmpchm subfolder had been created there at about...

I have a small H&M project from which I generate compiled HTML help. This project is not very complicated and it has always compiled without errors. (I have been using the same basic project for three years and just adding and revising topics as needed.) There are two conditions in the project w...

Excellent, I shall reject the bug :-) I wasn't able to find out what this tester thought a desirable result would be. Perhaps she wanted it to look more like a message coming from our product instead of IE, maybe with the product name instead of "from webpage". Fortunately this was not fil...

Another bug has been filed against the help by one of our testers. When you click the Permalink button on the toolbar, the dialog box that confirms the save has the caption "Message from webpage" (see attachment). The tester calls this a "missing" caption, where I would just call...

I'll try to put together a small project and see if I can reproduce the error. I did get QA to defer the bug, so I'm not under any pressure to get this resolved. Thanks for your help!

OK, so I unchecked that option in the skin, regenerated the help, and allowed it to open via H&M. I do not get the "Allow blocked content" prompt in IE, but I still have the problem that when I right-click a topic in the Table of Contents, the new tab shows the topic title but no conte...

I tried changing that option you mention but I didn't see any difference. When the help system opens, IE prompts me to "Allow blocked content." If I do that, and then right-click a topic and open it in a new tab, the new tab correctly shows the content topic. But it has its own "Allow...
