Question

Error when importing Word documents

Hallo

I'm using RoboHelp 8 from the Technical Communication Suite.

When I try to import a doc/docx file for my HTML help I get the message: 'The Import Word Document Wizard cannot locate a supported version of Microsoft Word. Please install Microsoft Word 2000 or newer.'

Actually I have Microsoft Word 2010 installed in its default path.

Do I have to set some particular options? Some days ago I had my PC replaced with a new one and I had to reinstall all of my programs. I think I've missed some settings.

Thank you

Word 2010 is not officially supported with RH8. If you can't downgrade your Word version the thread listed below has some workarounds.

Strange

I was working with Office 2010 and RH8 almost without problems with my old PC. Maybe the colleagues from our EDP department have installed a different version of MS Word (a newer service pack?).

I'll try to modify the registry as suggested in http://forums.adobe.com/message/2991411

thank you
