Also, did upgrading to 3.1 Camtasia help in solving the problem? Is 3.1 creating different files that made the embedded video functional? Hi Cal, I can't answer for Mike, but I have Flash videos working equally well in H&M from both Camtasia 3.0 and 3.1 . The difference in 3.1 is that the Flash...

Hi Mike,

Out of interest I have now tried compiling to CHM (with the Flash files added
to the Baggage files) and it worked fine.

I seem to recall an option in Camtasia to include/exclude the playback controls,
but just at the moment I can't find it.

I would like to use Flash videos (as produced with Camtasia). If I publish the Camtasia video as Flash, I get an HTML file (which I add manually as code in the dialog box) and a small SWF file and XML config file in addition to the movie SWF itself. I added the small SWF file, an XML config file as...

Having said that. I have no idea of the purpose of XML. Hi John, I agree that it hasn't been very well explained. The main use is in the translation of your text into a different language, by someone else. You send them an XML file exported from H&M. They translate it and send it back. You then...

Hi Eric,

Tools > Customize > Editor tab.

Select the tickbox for "Show strong Table Grid lines in Edit mode" .

This feature is extremely difficult to implement. There's one reason for that: the space to display the page number is limited and must be identical for all page numbers. Hi Alexander, You could get round that by using a monospaced font, and leading zeros. "see page 0027" would look odd i...

Tim, FYI I've also noticed an inconsistency related to this, but it's been minor. I've noticed that "posts since last visit" is meaningless after an update via RSS (which requires a log-in for TE). The RSS log-in presumably cancels any existing unread posts on the forum site, even though ...

If you are generating PDF as well you definitely don't want to create tables with manually-entered HTML code objects. That would be much too much work and it wouldn't work at all in PDF, which ignores the code objects completely. Hi Tim, Steve, I still feel that an HTML table is the easiest solutio...

I have several hundred sections within topics I need to convert to tables for better formatting. Half the table columns contain links to anchors in the same topic ... What's the best way? Hi Steve, Assuming you are producing an HTML-based output, the easiest way is probably to create an HTML table....

The issue is very simple. I have pages with multiple bullet paragraphs. As long as the text in the bullet paragraph is short and not more than about one physical line on the screen, the formatting is ok. But longer bullet paragraphs are formatted incorrectly and not consistently. Hi Roger, I can't ...

QUESTION: As I requested earlier, I would like for someone form EC to explain why this behavior was changed from HM3. Hi Roger, I'm not from EC Software. They haven't actually changed the behaviours, which are part of normal browser page rendering. What they have changed are the default settings. Y...

using Tim Green's code. This does seem to resolve the chm issues. BUT it does not solve the eBook issues. Hi Roger, Wrapping works correctly in eBook if you don't use the <div> tags, but simply <%TOPIC_TEXT%> You can add left and right margins by editing the Normal style para settings. Martin.

Hi Roger,

There is any easy fix for this - see:
