View - Eyeglasses

[Saro_58]

Help! Help! Help!

I am a novice user. I open translated .htm files on the RoboHelp main screen and use the Eyeglasses (View) icon on the toolbar to view the .htm file. I check popups and links in this view mode. All of a sudden, when I click on the Eyeglasses icon, nothing happens. I also tried selecting this function from the View menu....nothing. Does anyone know what might be going on? Is there a setting in RoboHelp that disables this feature???

Please help if you can....I need this feature. I guess I can reinstall RoboHelp (X5) and hope it fixes this, if I have to.
Thanks in advance for anything you can do.

Could this be as simple as clicking in the topic first?

Hi Peter,

Thank you so much for your response. No, it wasn't that simple, but I did search around on this website and found a topic discussing this very issue. I had our IT people change the Windows Registry settings and it works now! Thanks for your response though, I appreciate it.

Do you know if compiling a foriegn language help project using a computer with an English Windows Operating System will cause any problems? I thought I read somewhere that you had to have the same language operating system...

Sorry I can't help you on the language question. If you don't get a response tomorrow when more people are at work, try a new thread.
