Subject:Adding CustomTables to the Gallery in RoboHelp X5 From:Jayshree Rice <jayshreerice -at- yahoo -dot- com> To:techwr-l -at- lists -dot- techwr-l -dot- com Date:Wed, 8 Feb 2006 10:24:47 -0800 (PST)
Hello All,
Does anyone know how to add custom tables to
RoboHelp's Table gallery?
I've done this with an older version of RoboHelp about
4 years ago but it doesn't seem to work in X5. I'm
using RoboHelp X5 after a gap of 4 years of
non-RoboHelp work.
I don't remember the version of RoboHelp I used all
that time ago but I do remember the method I used:
1. Open a Robohelp topic, create the type of table I
want to re-use.
2. Go to \Program Files\RoboHelp
Office\RoboHTML\Gallery\tables.
3. Make a copy of one of the existing .htmtable files.
4. Open the copied .htmtable file using notepad.
5. Return to the RoboHelp topic where I created the
table, copy the html code from RoboHelp topic, paste
it into the copied .htmtable file.
6. Save the new .htmtable file with a new name.
The new table would show up in the list of table
templates that displays on choosing Table > Insert. It
used to work like charm but not any more.
Appreciate any pointers you can give me.
Thanks
Jay Rice
