Where do you create the CSS style sheet, in DreamWeaver? Or can you do that in H&M? Is it possible for you to explain that to me, or is pretty basic and I should just do some research? This is a two-edged sword: it's quite simple...once you understand some CSS :-) The basics are not difficult t...

1) You could modify it using a dropdown combo box in the Topic Options tab, instead of having to right-click, in the TOC, and choose ChangeItem -> Topic Status Good suggestion although I like being able to right-click in the TOC as well. There's less mouse movement in the TOC and it's easier to cha...

With DreamWeaver, we have to divide each chapter, subchapter, and sub-subchapter into their own pages, then build a navigation bar for each of those, because our designer doesn't like to work with frames in DreamWeaver. There are several CSS alternatives to frames for these applications. Example of...

Check projects globally for embedded graphics

Add an automatic way (via Project Reports?) to identify and jump (via hyperlink) to embedded images globally in a project. This is an issue in our team setup where an embedded project could inadvertently be added to a project at any time during a long, hard day of content editing. The only way I'm a...

Quickly checking a complete project for embedded graphics

We have multiple authors for our H&M files and I want to check that no-one has inadvertently embedded a graphic. Is there a quick method of checking that a, say, 500 page document has no embedded graphics - only inserted ones? The Project Report tool only seems to report missing or unused images...

Default file locations

Is there any way of changing the default file location for compiled browser-based help files? They're currently saved to a HTML folder in the Help and Manual directory and I cannot see any way of changing this via preferences. I'd like to save them to a folder on a network share every time so they'r...

Triple click to select a paragraph

H&M has double click to select a word. That's great.

Can it go one step further and add triple click to select a paragraph to replicate Microsoft Word's behaviour?

I hadn't realised how much I rely on this simple feature until I realised that it is missing in H&M4.

Deleting default styles

Is it possible to delete the default styles in the style editor?

I know that they can be modified.

I'd just prefer to delete them entirely.
