Any idea of a date for the next patch?

It's not that I'm not patient, I'm just very very nosey!

I just read your post with the images again and noticed that you couldn't find the skin on the default "get me started" example. Try installing the latest copy again and double check where it's installed. Unless there are administrative rights, the default folder on your c: drive should do.

I'm sure Tim will have a solution for you. In the meantime, I'll see if I can find out what else can be done. Did you run the install from your office pc (downloaded at office) or from a copy from home? Could it be administrator rights that you might need to install the software? sorry for all the q...

Quick question... the chm, is that on your local drive or on the network? It's a known Microsoft security issue that .chm files does NOT run off the network. try copying it to your local drive and try again. If you do a webhelp compile, does that work? ps. this section shows a workaround if needed. ...

Hi Susie, can you try and update the Help Compiler? Maybe something went wrong initially with the install at work. http://www.ec-software.com/downloads_mscomp.html what you can also try is to open one of the example H&M projects included in the install and compile without any changes. That shoul...

I use Topic ID prefix with all my projects (always thinking ahead - for the day I have to merge projects). I have a lot of hyperlinks / topic links in my project.

It is not impossible that it's something I'm doing. Maybe it's because I use a current project to create a new one? because I have all the settings I need, instead of copying, I just copy the whole folder and rename & delete as required. I know, it's most likely not the best practice, but it wor...

I'm afraid not..

This specific project, although it's is in a task - I run the PDF on its own at the moment through Publish.

I also only have one template that I use in this project... :S

Strange!

Hi all, I know this has been mentioned before and because I don't do a lot of PDF manuals, I thought I was doing something a bit wrong. However, I am working on a project and when I go to "Manual Designer" (from the Project toolbar), a blank pdf template is displayed. I have this saved in ...

It seems that it didn't take as long as I thought it would to change all the tables.

Now I hope I don't change my mind.... again

After a quick search, I found autohotkey which seems to be what I'm after.

Unfortunately I can't download it because of office policy.

Not to worry.

After the Table Shortcuts discussion, I had another thought: without a fancy spangly keyboard (I actually had one at home before the 'coffee incident of 2007') - Is there a way to capture a macro?
