Changed output folder--import topic problem

I'm using Robohelp HTML 8 to produce WebHelp.

I created my project in one folder and then decided to generate the output to a different folder. This was obviously not a great idea, and I would appreciate any suggestions on how to clean this up and start fresh (without losing my default.css styles and imported skin).

Now when I import a topic, I see red boxes at the top and bottom of the topic. They are related to the Script properties.

For example, the bottom box properties are:

//<![CDATA[
<!--
if (window.writeIntopicBar)
        writeIntopicBar(0);


highlightSearch();
//-->
//]]>

It thus appears these are commented out.

I seem to be able to delete this, but I have no idea what effect it is having.

Any suggestions would be appreciated.

    Hi there

    Looks like you imported output files into your project. This is like taking a baked chocolate chip cookie, crumbling it up and dropping it into the batter used to make other chocolate chip cookies.

    CSS is just a file. So copy it somewhere safe and you are good to go. Skin won't be related to this so you could export the skin from the skins folder. That allows you to use it in other projects.

    Cheers and good luck! Rick
