TechWhirl (TECHWR-L) is a resource for technical writing and technical communications professionals of all experience levels and in all industries to share their experiences and acquire information.
For two decades, technical communicators have turned to TechWhirl to ask and answer questions about the always-changing world of technical communications, such as tools, skills, career paths, methodologies, and emerging industries. The TechWhirl Archives and magazine, created for, by and about technical writers, offer a wealth of knowledge to everyone with an interest in any aspect of technical communications.
My coworker and I are creating a project in RoboHelp 2000 and am currently
having problems with hotspots. The problem started out that on both of our
systems (mine is Windows 2000; she has NT), when we created an image map -
create the hot spot on the image, select a topic, and then save, no link was
showing up in the compiled version.
Then it got even more complicated - When she tried to select the topic for
the hotspot - she got a Runtime error (which our IT guys guessed was from
the Word connection running from the server instead of her actual computer).
Well, now she has no more runtime error - but now, when she selects the
topic - the HotSpot Studio won't even appear.
On my system - I can create the hotspot, but when I save, close, and then
reopen - the hotspot no longer is there.
One further note: We created one successful hot spot at the very beginning
of the project - and it still works. I compared the coding and cannot see
any problems between the old and the newer tries for hotspot linking.
Any ideas for a solution to this problem is greatly appreciated.
Thanks!!!
