Question

Breaking up long Framemaker Chapters into separate topics in Robohelp.

I have just gone through a Robohelp class. Main purpose is to make an HTML online version of my Framemaker book. Upon import from Framemaker to Robohelp, I designated my Framemaker Heading 3 into a Robohelp Heading 2. My understanding from my class was that this would break out the level 3 topics so that they would get their own online help page.

However, the structure of the original Framemaker book was retained upon import with each topic starting with Heading 1 and containing Heading 2, 3 and 4s. Original Framemaker book chapters started with a Heading 1 and contained Headings 2, 3, and 4.  Is there a way to break out the Heading 2 and 3 from the Heading 1 chapters so that the online help pages aren't so long?

Edit: I found a similar discussion thread which states to use the Pagination option upon import. Well, now that I have already imported my Framemaker document, is there an easy way to chunk up the Framemaker chapters in Robohelp?

Thanks and sorry for the double posting.

So you selected “Pagination” on your FM Heading 3 paragraph tags right? And then mapped them to use the RH Heading 2 style? Is that what you’re doing? Maybe you need to post some screen shots (use the camera icon in the web interface) to show us what you’re doing.
