Tables

What's covered?

For some time there has been a topic on creating preformatted tables in RoboHelp. I needed a table where the rows could be sorted each time the user clicked on a column heading and that had alternate coloured rows. It took a while to set that up so I decided to set up a section about tables to record anything useful that I found.

How to create preformatted tables in RoboHelp

These pages are not applicable for RoboHelp 8 where a table editor was introduced. See About RoboHelp 8 and the RoboHelp Tour.

Sort tables with an arrow or an image showing the sort order

Sort tables without an arrow showing the sort order and / or alternate coloured rows

Highlighting table rows on mouseover. See Snippet 39

I have not tested these methods with tables created using the table editor introduced in RoboHelp 8. See About RoboHelp 8 and the RoboHelp Tour.
