Convert Winhelp RH7 to HTML help in RHX3 or RHX5

Sorry. Should have also added that the RHX5 help file has some excellent advice on converting from Winhelp in a number of topics. Similar help is probably also in earlier version (e.g. X3). Let us know if you haven't got access to these and we'll post more details.

Elisabeth. Best of luck. Feel free to post any specific queries here as you go.

Hi Elisabeth. You can create a new project and import the winhelp project at the same time in both X3 and X5. Go for X5 if you can. You can choose to import either a word file or the winhelp .hpj file. The gotchas depend on a number of variables. Things to watch out for are macros in your winhelp file, browse sequences, image format conversion (e.g. BMPs to GIFs), CSH calls, etc. It sounds like a lot to think of but it's not too bad really. Just allow sufficient time to allow for these factors. BTW be clear from the start whether you want webhelp or HTMLHelp. This will help you in the conversion as each has a different purpose, works in a different manner and requires different set-up.
