[Framers] FrameMaker to CHM Problems

[Carole McCormick]

Shmuel, I use FrameMaker 2015 and convert files to CHM and also to WebHelp.  If you have RoboHelp, there are settings that control the problems that you are having. I have not generated help files directly from FrameMaker though.  When we first began using RoboHelp, we consulted with Roundpeg Training. Training was done remotely, and Matt Sullivan was the trainer (it only took about 6 hours of training to get us started). Not sure if Matt is still with Roundpeg, but you can search for him online:  Matt R. Sullivan.

Hope this helps.

Carole

I need some help converting FrameMaker to CHM online help. I used to use Mif2Go, but I recently upgraded to FM 2015, and I'd prefer to use the built-in publish to CHM option. I've also seen discussions on the list as to whether Mif2Go works with FM 2015.

When I publish a book as CHM, I have the following problems:
1. When I double-click the CHM, the help window opens to a small size and it opens to the last page in the book.
2. The cover, which is in a separate FM chapter, is missing.
3. In the CHM's TOC, the appendixes are inside the last chapter, meaning they are treated like Heading 2's.
4. Is there any way to change the font in the resulting CHM?
5. Can I use conditional text to hide something in the CHM?

Does anyone know if they got Mif2Go to work with FM 2015?
Does anyone have a recommendation for someone we could pay to help me with this if I can't figure it all out myself.
Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks
