Does anyone has problem with the Glossary tab in RB8?

[SadandSad]

The glossary tab does'nt show on *CHM file. Does anyone has that problem?

1) Install RH8 on XP SP2 and register hhactivex.dll

2) Start RH8

3) Create new project.

4) Click on '+' sign of Glossary from Project Manager to expand it and double click the Glossary(Default) to show the GLossary Pod.

5) Type 'First' in the Term input field on the Glossary Pod, and click the + button to add it.

6) Go to the 'Definition for :first section of the Pod and type in 'First'

7) Save and generate the CHM file

This is the first time I create a new project in RH8 with Glossary.

If I import a previous project created with RoboHelp for Office X4 which has Glossary, and convert project to RH8 format and generate the CHM file, then the CHM file has the Glossary tab.

I can't possibly beleive it is a bug in RH8 . However, what mistake did I make?

This happens on XP SP2, RH 8.0.0.0.203, on XP SP3 with RH 8.0.2.208, on Win7 with RH 8.0.2.208. Basically, it doesn't matter on what PC we install RH8, doesn't matter how many time you register hhactivex.dll, the glossary tab never shows up. Howver, it shoes up on Winhelp.

Thanks

Hi there

I've seen it occur on my own PC. Sometimes it will show and many times it fails.

You can try defining a new window and choosing it during output. Likely that will fail as well.

There is no fix I'm aware of. About all I can suggest is to report it to Adobe as a bug.

Cheers... Rick

Thanks Rick.

I didn't simply want to beleive it. This bug must exist since day 1 of RH8 (hopefully!) and that Adobe didn't want to fix it despite releasing several Service Packs for RH8. Are they amateurs?

Hi there

No, I don't believe they are ameteurs. Besides, some ameteurs do better work than "professionals".

To be fair, some bugs are elusive. We may see them and report them but when the development team examines things they repeatedly and stubbornly fail to reveal themselves.
