Can you just merge a topic?

I have 15 projects. Different departments see different projects. Sometimes there are topics we want all departments to see. Is there a way to merge a topic from one project into another project? I want to be able to update the topic from the home project and the updates also show up in the merged topic. We have a very old version of Robo '95. In '95 we would import a doc into another project and then could update it in the home project or the one we imported into. It was like when you opened the topic in the new project, you were opening the home project to update.

I have a similar need and am unsure how to efficiently proceed. I currently have one project. I need to create a second project that contains only a portion of the content of the first project. The two projects have two different user groups. I will need to update any shared topics simultaneously if possible. I am working in RH5. Is there a process to achieve this? I am a novice user.

Thanks,

Sallie

Hi all

Okay, first things first here.

For starters, what is the output type we are all using? WinHelp? HTML Help? WebHelp? FlashHelp?

I'm seeing there are two users in this thread. The first is reporting RoboHelp 95? Does this mean you are using RoboHelp for Word?

Cheers... Rick

... and Sallie's problem is different. Sallie please start a new thread or things will become very confused. You might like to take a look at the merged help articles on my site to decide whether you feel able to try that out. It is not as difficult as it might appear at first.

If you do decide to proceed I can outline what you would need to consider if you create a new thread. Do include what type of help you want to merge.
