Question

Endashes and quotes are not converted correctly when copying FM files by reference

I'm using FM7 in the TCS1 in a Windows XP environment. I am copying FM books by reference into my RH project.

I'm noticing that endashes (–) and quotation marks (") are not consistently coming across correctly in my RH project.  Instead, I am getting &endash; for the endash, and &rdquor: instead of a quote.  Note: it appears to be only the first quote that encloses text that doesn't convert; the closing quote converts.

Any ideas?

Sounds as if you haven't installed the patches. You should be on RoboHelp 8.0.2

I have RoboHelp 7 and the patches won't install unless I do a complete reinstall. Since I'm at the end of a release, that will have to wait.
