Colors not appearing in nonscrolling regions in WinHelp? The solu tion!
Subject:Colors not appearing in nonscrolling regions in WinHelp? The solu tion! From:"Hart, Geoff" <Geoff-H -at- MTL -dot- FERIC -dot- CA> To:"TECHWR-L" <techwr-l -at- lists -dot- raycomm -dot- com> Date:Fri, 21 Mar 2003 14:41:59 -0500
Earlier this week, I asked for help assigning a color to the topic titles in
my WinHelp file; I'd assigned these as part of the style properties for
topic titles, making the reasonable (but naive <g>) assumption that RoboHelp
would pick up on these settings and transfer them to the help compiler
during compilation. No such luck.
Fortunately, techwr-l came through as always... and the solution was right
under my nose: RoboHelp assigns all window properties through the project
settings rather than directly in Word. D'oh! (Did someone say RTFM? Well,
actually I did, but didn't think to look under window settings. D'oh take
II. <g>)
Changing the project settings was a piece of cake, and the topic titles now
look as intended.
Colorful thanks to all who replied!
