Punishingly Intricate

Okay, are you working in Word, or in the WYSIWYG editor in RoboHelp?

I wrote and formatted a bunch of docs in Word and am moving them into the WYSIWYG editor in RoboHelp. The formatting doesn't copy over though so I am trying to recreate it. Which I think may be impossible.

I haven't tried to use a table yet. That might help.

But I just don't understand why something as basic as setting tabs should be a problem.

Thank you!

I'm afraid some of it might, yeah. And Adobe has bought RoboHelp since last time I used it, so I'm betting my knowledge is pretty severely out of date.

At the bottom of the screen, are there tabs that say something like "Design View" and "HTML"? Can you get to the code that way?

What about saving to HTML in Word and then pasting the HTML source directly into the HTML view in RoboHelp?

There is. It's labeled "True Code" but if you've defined and applied a style it just shows the name of that style. A

I'll try that!

Yeah, I don't think I ever used styles, so I can't help you there.

WHOA! Hang on. It looks like I can actuallly just import the Word file and it preserves the formatting. der. (It does turn the tabs into spaces which is irritating but I can live with it.)

This is a silly, stupid question, but USB ports on laptops are the same size they are on desktops, right? That is, I can plug an external desktop HD into a laptop with a USB cable?

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?

P-C, all that Omnis says is true, but the short answer is yes.

What amych and omnis said. The flat end of your USB cable will plug into any other flat USB port on any computer. It's the other end that's a little device dependant.
