Adobe RoboHelp 6 HTML: Need Your Images Resized? Consider Using RoboHelp’s ReSize Tool!

If you import an image into RoboHelp, you can easily resize it in one of two ways:

1. Drag the resize handles (the square’s that surround the image) to the desired size
2. Double-click the image to display the Image Properties dialog box, click the Size button and change the Width and/or Height.

The problem with both of these techniques isn’t that they don’t work–they do. However, both techniques will likely result in an image that no longer looks very good (it will either look blurry if you made it bigger or like mud if you resized it smaller).

The next time you need to resize an image, consider using RoboHelp’s ReSize tool, a program built specifically for resizing your project images.

Use ReSize to Change the Size of an Image

1. Click the Tools tab at the bottom of the RoboHelp window
2. Find and double-click the ReSize button to start the program



3. Choose File > Open and open the image you’d like to resize
4. On the Size tab, change either the Width or Height (if you leave Keep aspect ratio selected, the image will remain proportional as you change either the Width or Height)



5. Save your work and exit Resize

And that’s it. All you would have to do now is import the image into your RoboHelp topic (Insert > Image). You will find that the resized image will invariably look better than anything you might have done directly in the topic using RoboHelp.
