Help! Important Word document lost on disk/memory thumb stick

In the last month, my brother has created a huge presentation of Word documents on a USB key (I know, should have been on the hard drive).  Now, he can't open all the files on the USB key and many laptops don't recognize it's there.  Is there anyway that the Word could have automatically recorded a version of the document and he can get it back somehow?   Help, please!

  • Style sheets and applying to imported Word documents. (RHx5)

    I read an opinion about style sheets, import Word documents and formatting issues (regarding the import of predetermined styles/bullets/numbers and Word documents).  I also saw that someone was trying to create a css outside RH and has problems.  This brings me to a few questions.

    1. in the import of Word documents, creates HR a separate for each doc, css or y at - it an option to not have this happen during the execution of the import process?

    2. If I understand css, you must have a project, if you want all html pages look the same, correct?

    3. What do you do if you made the mistake of having several different css' out there, all making it appear funky?  Can you create a new project and import the documents without the css and apply a new css (created in the new project) to all html files?  Will be this help by correcting a lot of spacing, bullets and numbering of the problems?

    4. can I find the default css and modify it?

    I think I have a big problem on my hands.  I tried to make things easier for SMEs which have been assigned to write procedures by creating the formats predefined in Word.  After reading pages of PG, I sank into my chair.  I got in trouble, he said.  I tried to edit some pages in the html editor and seem to make them worse.  I tried to simplify the code a bit (with what knowledge I have currently in html, which is minimal).  I am lucky that I have only about 200 documents that could be affected.  Comments/suggestions are greatly appreciated.

    1] when importing Word documents, HR does create a separate for each doc, css or y at - it an option to not have this happen during the execution of the import process?

    It's like that, no other choice.

    2. If I understand css, you must have a project, if you want all html pages look the same, correct?

    In the condition "If you want identical", you would have only a CSS, but you don't have to have them all identical. It's your call.

    3. What do you do if you made the mistake of having several different css' out there, all making it appear funky?  Can you create a new project and import the documents without the css and apply a new css (created in the new project) to all html files?  Will be this help by correcting a lot of spacing, bullets and numbering of the problems?

    It is not an error, but if you want to get out of this situation, you must do a clean up. The first step is to create a CSS that contains all your existing style names, note that I say the names. Each of your CSS files have a variety of styles, but we will make it easy for this explanation. We have H1, H2, P and P.Note (a class) while the other has an a H1, H2, P and P.Warning (a class). Now, let's say you have only two topics, CSS_1 and CSS_2. H1, H2, and P styles can be the same or different, but assuming they are different, you want to now, they are the same, so what you want is a CSS with H1, H2, P, P.Note and P.Warning. You could then apply that both subjects and all the content will be displayed as defined in CSS_3. Of course the real task is greater, but the principles are the same.

    The I should fix is to create a new CSS and copying in most of your CSS styles existing files. Then I look at others and copy in all models that are not already in. This gives you all the names of style, but with the appearance of false. Then you start working through the styles to get them right. It is not as bad as it sounds. I recommend using Top Style of http://www.bradsoft.com. There is a free version that opens only a CSS at the same time, but you can see what you do with it. Others can be opened in Notepad.

    4. can I find the default css and modify it?

    Yes.

    I think I have a big problem on my hands.  I tried to make things easier for SMEs which have been assigned to write procedures by creating the formats predefined in Word.  After reading pages of PG, I sank into my chair.  I got in trouble, he said.  I tried to edit some pages in the html editor and seem to make them worse.  I tried to simplify the code a bit (with what knowledge I have currently in html, which is minimal).  I am lucky that I have only about 200 documents that could be affected.  Comments/suggestions are greatly appreciated.

    Next time you need entry of the SME, the power for a model HR Word so that they all look the same. Their job is providing content for the styles are not relevant for them.

    Yes, you have a bit of work, but it's not too massive. I hope this helps.

  • Index of problem - importing Word documents

    Hello everyone.

    I use RoboHelp HTML 7.02.001.
    I created a new project for importing Word documents (Word 2003 SP2) in.
    There are nearly 100 records, all pretty small with defined Index entries. (These were broken on 9 training manuals)

    A before posting, I was advised that the output should be WebHelp, because users will have access to it through the corporate Intranet.
    Project settings has Index > add new keywords to > Index File (Perfect). And binary Index is checked, but I don't think it's necessary.

    I am importing several Word documents in a folder of the project at a time.
    Opens the screen of the wizard: import Word Document Conversion Options and the following items are checked.
    Preserve the title styles
    Convert the Table of contents
    Convert Index
    Add new keywords for the file Index (Perfect)
    Then, I chose to create only 1 sheet of Style Master who is subsequently changed.

    The Word Document Wizard: Split on Style window screen opens and all controls are deleted, because this step is already completed.

    My problem: The index is empty after importation.

    How can I fix this without having to change each HTML page?

    Any help will be appreciated.
    Thank you

  • Importing Word documents in CS5 - matter of paragraph Style

    Hi, we import Word documents in a model of CS5, removing the Word styles brings (spend a paragraph text or body base) but the text is coming in black 100% when we have defined in InDesign that 80% and then we find that paragraph Styles will not apply properly. Does anyone else have this problem? I tried it get around by copy - paste, but it still does, especially if I copy and paste into a table.
    If you have any ideas as to what's going on would be great.

    Check the window paragraph styles to see if you have local substitutes on the text (click in and see if the name of the style has a + next to him). If so, hold the Option key (Mac OS, maybe the ALT key on Windows) and click on the style name. That will erase the replacements the. You can also do the fly of the styles window.

    If you've already tried this, check the window character styles. Character styles will change the look of the paragraph styles, but they do not trigger the replacements the + indicator, because they are not considered to be a local override. You can apply the no character style if that's what the problem is, but it will apply to the text that you selected, unlike paragraph styles, where all you have to do is click in a paragraph.

  • I accidentally deleted an important Word Document - is it possible to get it back?

    It's a simple Word Document

    What version of MS Office are you running?

    Deleted documents generally go to the trash, unless you used a deletion method that permanently deletes so without going through the trash.  Have you looked in the trash?  If it is there, you can right-click on it and select "Restore" and it should return to the location and the State in which it was when you removed it.

  • Problems with CHM search & Index after you import the Word Document

    Greetings,

    I recently inherited from all things RoboHelp at work, but the last person to work with our projects left 6 months ago.  I received a brief overview of how our CHM files are from the same word in HR 7 HTML document.

    Currently, I use RoboHelp HTML 9, but have problems with the indexing and search of an imported file in Word 2003 (.doc) features.  During my import, only a single topic is created and named after the source document.  I believe that this may be the root of my problems, but have not had much luck with a solution.

    I have stumbled my way through adjustment after adjustment, but feel I'm missing something obvious.  Any help would be appreciated.

    Thank you

    Ken

    Background:

    Our source documents have a working table of contents and topic structure 1 - 3.  When creating a new project and import the document, the table of contents are imported correctly.  TOC navigation links seem to work fine.

    I used the smart Index Wizard to find new keywords to topic titles and the text of the topic.  Unfortunately it seems that import only creates a single, named subject according to the word source document and associates so all the keywords of the unique subject.  When you try to navigate the index after the CHM is generated, all the links reference just the beginning of the document.

    When you use the search functionality in CHM, only a single result is returned for any search words.  This result is always the only subject, as described above.  The link to the results always picks you up at the beginning of the document, but highlights the key word throughout the document.

    When you import there is an Advanced button in any of the dialog boxes. Click and you'll be able to Paginate against selected styles. That will stop your document in the headings.

  • How to generate a Word document and a PDF file of help files?

    Hello

    I'm new to RoboHelp HTML and uses version 8.  I've updated some help files, and now I want to generate the output.  Here are my questions / or the process that I used:

    • To compile the help, I clicked on generate a main page layout.  Is this correct?  I noticed that the stamp on the xpj file has not changed.  The date is still many months.  (Why is this?  Must show a recent update date?)  However, the files that I've updated reflect the dates when I did the updates.  It comes to files art, a high hydrostatic pressure and htm, js, ldb, pss, DPC files.
    • To generate a pdf file, I clicked on Generate PDF.  I was not able to generate the PDF file first, but then I enabled macros in Word 2007 (Trust Center settings > enable all macros.. .and clicked on the checkbox, approved access to the VBA project object model) and you click on Generate the PDF.  At the end of the generation, I got this error in Word: Microsoft Office Word has encountered a problem and needs to close.  We are sorry for the inconvenience.  The news that you were working may be lost.  Word can try to recover it for you.  I closed the Word and dialog box generated several blank documents.  Microsoft Office Diagnostics was performed and found a problem and fixes it.  Despite the error message was generated a pdf file.  (If you could give me any idea on why I got error messages, which could be useful to know).
    • How to generate a Word document?

    Thank you!

    Welcome to the forum.

    I would suggest a different workflow.

    When you select generate a main page layout, RoboHelp did this according to the settings in all that is attached to your main layout. Better at least first double-click the page layout so that you see the settings and can make a difference to the way you want. After that, you can use generate a main page layout if you want, but I'd rather go through the layout itself and check the settings.

    The XPJ file changes only when certain things should be recorded in it and it's not every time that you are working on the project. In other words, don't worry about the date of the file.

    Now for the PDF. Again not the best place to start and still better to go of the provision itself. You can try to simply generate a PDF file, but many users prefer to create a Word document and make some changes in that. It can just be put page breaks to improve appearance, it may be more, it's your call. Once the Word document is good, generate the PDF from there.

    You will find the page layouts, that I want to talk in the pod of single Source Layouts. View > pods.
