RoboHelp 7 Question: How Do I Get Topic Titles to Appear Instead of File Names
I am working through the Essentials of Adobe RoboHelp 7 HTML. On page 96, in the Link View section the image displays the title of the individual files and the linking structure. My computer is displaying the file names (which are a tad cryptic). How can I change this to display the title?
Answer
You are currently viewing the files by File Name. Choose View > By Topic Title and you should be all set.
RoboHelp 7 Question: How Can I Get Right-Clicking to Work on the Topic List Pod?
In chapter two, p. 45, or your Essentials of Adobe RoboHelp 7 HTML book, you mention that in the Topic List, topics should sort automatically. However, in my copy of Version 7, there is not File Name/Title at the top of the Topic List. Is there some way to turn this feature on? Also, I'm unable to right click on any of the topics in the Topic List. I know that it's not a hardware feature because I'm able to right-click other areas in the application. Any help would be appreciated.
Answer
To show the details of the Topic List pod, choose View > Details View. Your inability to right-click is another matter. I tested the Topic List pod and I was able to right-click topics in either list or detail view. Upon playing a bit more, however, I noticed that if the pod is not tall enough, right-click functionality doesn't work if you are in list view, but does work in detail view.
Captivate vs. Presenter Question: What's the Difference?
Do you know of any written comparison of same or different features Captivate and Presenter? Our IT department is wanting us to try Presenter instead of Captivate saying it's a better product. Frankly I'm just now getting decent with Captivate and not excited about switching products. Do you have any advice?
Answer:
The programs meet two entirely different needs. Adobe Presenter is used from within PowerPoint and allows you to basically create SCORM compliant presentations. Adobe Captivate allows you to create interactive software simulations.
