Rob ,first off, apologies on my part for my delayed response - I was OOF from August 1st through 15th and just saw this. Second off, thank you very much, this is very helpful information. I don't anticipate running into the problem again now that I know what I have to do to avoid it, but in the even...

We have content that is common to multiple documents. The documents are, in turn, used in their own projects. Is there a way to have one instance of the common content (i.e., as its own document) and then bring it into multiple documents in other projects? So, for example, there might be four docume...

In fact, today I had to force TFS to re-download the entire project, even though all files were "up to date". Without doing that, I was missing the two dozen new topic IDs that had been checked in. Rob, how do you force TFS to re-download the project? I was never able to do so once my con...

FYI, for anyone who's interested, the problem turned out to be the fact that I wasn't generating (rebuilding) a new table of contents based on changes to topics being included or excluded in the source document. In some instances the changes to topic status were the result of changes I made, so one ...

I'm unclear on some of the information that is provided in the D2H Documents, Templates, and Content Guide , specifically the best way to be using the source and target templates. On p. 24 the guide states: "...if you select a particular source template, it is a best practice to also select its...

Jack, thank you very much! The CTRL button solution was exactly what I needed. You've saved me a great deal of time, and it is greatly appreciated!

Adsy, I'm having an issue that, while not the same, could potentially have the same fix.

Can you clarify what you mean by "restarting" the project? I'd like to try that and see if it resolves my issue.

Thanks.

Skamprowski, thank you again. The core issue, unfortunately, is that I lose the Team Authoring tab, and I am unable to get it back for those projects that have this issue. As near as I can tell, somehow my files are not getting synched properly when I check them back in by right-clicking on the proj...

SKamprowski, thank you. I have not been closing my projects after I complete step 3. What makes it necessary to re-open a project is simply the need to do additional formatting changes to the document, in order to get the desired HTML layout. Some of these are very large documents, and it's not poss...

I am running into a MAJOR issue in Doc-To-Help. I am working on shared projects in D2H, and for some reason I am losing the TFS connection, so I cannot use the Team Authoring functionality to check out the projects and then check them in if I make changes (which I don't do, since making them on the ...

We have a number of documents for which the same eight sections are for the printed manual output target only. For each document, we have to select a topic, select Printed Manual from the Platform dropdown list, and then repeat that for the other seven topics. Is there way to assign all eight topics...

I created a new document in Doc-To-Help in the project window. I checked in the project and confirmed that the new file was part of the project in TFS. However, when I open the document, I do not have the Doc-To-Help ribbon tab, and when I go to File ==> Options ==> Customize Ribbon, I don't see it ...

SKamprowski, thank you, that helps.

I don't see c1h-bullet in the drop-down styles list that I can apply in the Doc-To-Help ribbon. How can I find that style if it's not in the drop-down?

I'm new to Doc-To-Help, and I'm running into an issue with my numbered and bulleted lists, specifically that list items that are more than one line on a web page do not indent properly. What I need is for the first character of every line to line up vertically so, for example, if the first line is i...
