Question: Can I Edit My RoboHelp Glossary Outside of RoboHelp?
I’ve created a RoboHelp project with a Glossary and all is right with the world. Here’s my problem: I want to add a bunch of Glossary terms and definitions. It appears that I can only add one term and its definition at a time. Is there an external editor I can use that would make this process go faster?
Answer
The RoboHelp glossary is actually stored in a text file with a GLO extension. You will find the GLO file in your project among the other project assets such as the XJP (or project file). You can open the GLO file in any word processor (such as Word or NotePad) and copy and paste terms and definitions directly into the file. You’ll find this process much faster than adding them one at a time in RoboHelp via the Glossary pod.
Question: Can Captivate Record More Than One Screen at a Time?
Our medical imaging and reporting applications run on Microsoft Windows based PC systems with dual monitors. Is there any way that Captivate 2 or Captivate 3 can capture the processing from both monitors at the same time?
Answer
Excellent question! I don’t believe you can do that with Captivate. Of course, I only use a single monitor so I haven’t tested my theory. If anyone out there has gotten this to work, please let me know.
Question: FMRs Have Bloated My Captivate Output… What Can I Do?
I’ve used a significant number of Full Motion Recordings (FMRs) in my Captivate projects. When I publish the SWFs, the files are huge. Is there any way to compress the FMR SWFs?
Answer
- Choose Edit > Preferences.
- Select the Project category.
- Select Compress Full Motion Recording SWF file.
- Republish the project and you should see that the size of your SWFs have been lowered.
