Bug in RoboHelp 2022 Word Import and Word Linking

Hi

I'm trying to link a .docx file and map Word styles and have been following the instructions at:

https://www.grainge.org/RoboHelp_Tour/rh2022/authoring/importing_linking.htm

 

Each time I attempt it I come up against problems and have traced it to the contents of default.wsf needing to be edited manually e.g. there's a typo with spelling of "heirarchy" in the default code, however when I re-import all my manual edits to the file disappear and I am perplexed as to why.

 

Please see the attached PDF file particluarly the highlighted sections for details.

 

Any help would be much appreciated as I've been beating my head against for a while now.

    I turned your PDF into png images & put them in the body of your post. Like Peter, I'm unclear what action you're trying to accomplish as you have shots from both importing Word docs and linking to Word docs.

    I can't see the pdf as it displays a message "this file may be protected". It would be better if you take the screenshots and paste directly into a post, then we cans see the screenshots in line with the text.

    The WSF file is only relevant to importing.

    Which is it, are you importing or linking? 

     

    The edits you refer to, in the topics or the settings?
