Help & Manual Forums

One solution I can think of is to change to browser based help. In your system do not use a method to open IE or any other browser. Create a new window in your program with an Active-X container. In the container place the WebBrowser Active-X component. This component is the inner part of IE5/IE6 wi...

You can use external source code control tools like Perforce or MS Visual Source Save. You must use them manually to check-out/check-in the files since H&M does not use the interface of them. The problem for those systems is that the hmx-files aren't text files and they cannot be merged by any s...

George, I have it until 5 levels today and it is working. The only thing you have to take care as Tim said is to the have it not recursevly included. MasterA |--Master1 | |--Child1 | |--Child2 | |--Master2 | |--Child1 | |--Child2 Maybe it is just a copying mistake but MasterA |--Master1 | |--Child1 ...

your account needs full write permissions to both the entire H&M program folder and all its files and subfolders Tim this is a serious security problem. The program folder is a holy place and only the highest priest is allowed to go there and change things. All others are only allowed to have a...

Dear Peter, there are some problems with the table borders when compiling to PDF. I have mentioned this even during beta testing but got not corrected until now. I hope if some others will join us we get enough weight to take this point into a higher priority position. I don't doubt that it will be ...

Dear Tim, congratulations from me too. You have opened a forum which is the most valuable source for H&M support. It is one of those seldom free forums where each question gets an answer and most of them will present a solution. Your answers are always of a high qualitiy and deepness which shows...

You do this with conditional text. Use from the menu Insert >> Conditional Text and you get a dialog where you can set the conditions when the text will be included in the build. [/i]

Also being able to include/exclude your topics based on their status would be great.

My vote too. Although "under construction" topics will be included when links to them are in the exported topics. This will force the author to create the links atfer the topic is "complete".

Two points I have: and most developers speak English Tim, H&M is not only used by deveolpers but also by normal writers. They do not need to have a good English language knowledge. And they don't know how a program is developed. They only descibe what happens when you click here or there or ente...

It seems that the "List index out of bounds" error has been introduced with this build. See
http://helpman.it-authoring.com/viewtopic.php?t=3449 for a reason why it could occur.
I have seen this seldom before and normally Repair and Recover helped me.

Carolyn, it is not exactly clear what you are doing but I assume the following: You are compiling with "Merging at runtime" and have not set to open a master TOC in the child projects. When you open a child project all styles will be as defined in the project. When you open the Master proj...

"file://..." The correct syntax is "file:///..." . Three slashes. It works with MS IE. It works with Firefox too. file:///z:/ETL%202.0/projects/ETLKWPDriver/Handbuch/Englisch/HTML/index.html?respond_to_errors.htm will display the correct page when entered into the adress field. ...

HM4 Build 661 on Win2000 too.

Tim ,

have a good time and stay away from the forum. Relax and come back with new power.

Look in the help under "Using more advanced features">>"Command line options for automation" and in this topic scroll down to "Reading parameters from an ini file.
