Question

Creating an online help system from FM files

I have been tasked with converting a 340 page user manual in FrameMaker into RoboHelp in order to create an online help system.
I have imported all the FM files into RoboHelp. Each Project file is a chapter from the FM user manual and each topic is a subchapter.

Many of the images crossed over successfully. However, many came across blurry and others didn't come across at all, instead appearing as a small red box.

I have been unable to figure out how to get the images that did not come across into RoboHelp.
After compiling and viewing the primary layout - it looks pretty good (at least to me). The font and styles in RoboHelp are the same that were in FM.

I am VERY new to RoboHelp and have learned FM primarily through trial and error with some outside instruction.

I need help in getting the images into RoboHelp and some advice on whether or not I am on the right track with my online help system.

There is an issue with importing images from FrameMaker to RoboHelp. We are investigating the issue.
