QuarkXPress Question: What Can I Do About Document Bloat?
We are at a standstill with a continuing problem so I thought I’d ask you. Every month when we’re editing our newspaper in QuarkXPress and resave it, the file nearly doubles or triples in size. We can add one word to the file and it will increase the size substantially. Right now, the file is 92 megs and it’s nearly blank.
Answer: The AutoSave feature found in QuarkXPress is the likely culprit. This forum discussion may help.
Adobe RoboHelp 7 Question: Is JavaHelp Covered in Your Book?
Does your book entitled Essentials of Adobe RoboHelp 7 HTML cover using RoboHelp 7 to create a JavaHelp project? I see where you specifically mention deploying it in a web application, but my application was written using Swing and I just want to make sure that the book covers what I am doing before I buy it. Thanks!
Answer:
The RoboHelp 7 book does not specifically cover generating JavaHelp. However, it does cover HTMLHelp, WebHelp and FlashHelp. Generating JavaHelp involves the same process as the three I just mentioned, but the JavaHelp format allows for much less functionality than the others.
What you’ll learn in my book is how to use RoboHelp to create a help system. Electing to go with JavaHelp, HTMLHelp, WebHelp or FlashHelp is really a decision you’ll make as you create the Help system. When generating your finished Help system, you’ll need to keep your audience in mind, and know the limits of JavaHelp (and not bother adding features to the Help system that will not be supported in JavaHelp).
Adobe Captivate Question: Can I Quickly Add Navigation Boxes to All of My Slides?
I have created a learning module with some menu choices along the top: |Prerequisites | Main | Resources | etc. |. All together I have about 100 slides with the same menu running along the top of each slide. I would like the menu links to all go to the appropriate page in the module. I could do it manually, but that would take quite a long time. I could change each menu link and select apply to all, but that appears to change all the links to whichever one I changed last. Is there any way around this problem?
Answer:
Create the click box with the link, put it in position and set its properties as appropriate. Then copy the click box to the clipboard. Finally, select all of the slides that need the click box and paste. When you paste, the click box position will be identical on every slide.
