Help & Manual Forums

OK I actually found what I needed it appears that with the webhelp skins I was using, even though I set them to not to use frames they still do. If I use the specific skins that have Integrated IFrames, they appear to work correctly across all devices.

Hi All, I am working on the help text a new project that will be web based. As such I am doing webHelp that will be published on a web server. Our Web based applications works across all three platforms IPad, Chrome Tablets and Windows browsers. I want to create web help that is compatible with all ...

Hi, When I can tee up a proof reader .. We tend to export to MS word and then turn on change tracking before handing over the document to the proof readers. This at least makes it easy for us to find the corrections or recomended changes in the word document using its inbuilt change tracking. As the...

Hi All, I made a silly mistake yesterday. In my defence we are about to do a release next week and I am flat out trying to get the help text for the last changes in.

We tend to use snippets alot as alot of the descriptions can be the same from report to report. Just to make snippets a little easier to use, I would like to...

Also included the compiled chm just in case. It's not a big problem for us as now I know the cause I have ...

Hi not trying to hijack the thread as I think this problem I just had is also related to this.
