Report Buider - positioning fields in group headers

Hi all Do you have to use a tablix if you want to position fields in a group header? >From the help it seems so, but that means I have to make fields go into cells of the tablix I would rather be able to drag and position fields in a manner similar to the way I can in the header part of th

RE: Help authoring

CHM - Yes, that was my gut feeling over the past few years, and it was nice to find it officially sanctioned. In probing some of these areas in my haphazard way, I did discover a really nice video on the (preview) Help Viewer 1.1, to come with the SP1 for VS2010. http://blogs.msdn.com/b/thehelp

RE: Help authoring

Here is the real authority (not that faux Wikipedia source) [cut] Indeed, that's a nice summary and it makes it clear that in my case that I should stick with CHM files. I just have to find the right tools for the job. I've never used Visual Studio or Expression Web simply for writing HTML files,

RE: Help authoring

MAML passed into history with "Longhorn". I think the XML schemas morphed into (or were rejected and replaced by) the Office file formats for Word, Excel, etc with their ZIP packaging, and Help got marooned on the way. Probably not relevant to what's happened in Word formats and Help formats, but

The greatest authority in the world says: In 2002, Microsoft announced some security risks associated with the .CHM format, as well as some security bulletins and patches.[4] They have since announced their intentions not t

RE: Help authoring

Yes, it's an unhelpful debacle. The Microsoft Help Compiler Kit (or similar name) is fine for making CHM files - it manages links, directory structure, indexing. FrontPage has also disappeared from my machines, so I tend to write html in Word and save as bare HTML (an option on Save As..). It's s

RE: Help authoring

Oh drats! It's as bad as my expectations. We seem to be in help limbo. I have so many SDKs installed that if I put another one in just to fiddle with some new beta help format I think my hard drive will collapse into a black hole. And lord knows how much more of my time another kit will waste.

RE: Help authoring

Refreshing my memory by a search or 3, the HelpWare group website is at http://helpware.net/ and there are 3 or 4 helpful blogs you can reach from there. The help migration kit and FAR seem to be the best available tools. MS Help 3 is still extant (not extinct), from what I can see. _

RE: Help authoring

I still use CHM format, and PDF. I used to use HDK years ago, but never kept up with its evolution (or did it die?). But a new Microsoft help authoring system is a long time in coming. With VS2010, a new help system and Help Viewer was released, and accompanying its production was the SDK - see h

RE: Help authoring

I have VsDocman for generating help from the source code comments (http://www.helixoft.com/vsdocman/overview.html?net=a4c186p02) (it will generate help without any comments but the final outcome won't be as good if you do) I also have a copy of Help & Manual for producing documentation (http://w
