Question

Format of variable imported from FrameMaker file

When I import my FrameMaker  files into RoboHelp, at least one of the variable formats changes. That is, a variable format containing a superscript character gets removed when imported into RoboHelp. Is there a way to fix this variable format in RoboHelp  or do I have to convert this variable format to text in FrameMaker before importing into RoboHelp.

I am using the Technical Communicator Suite: FrameMaker 8.0 and RoboHelp 7

Thanks

Do you have a variable with the same name in another chapter? If so, do they have different values? Read "Variables not so variable" to see if the issue described in this topic applies to your situation.

I created a test project and imported one chapter.

The results of the superscript were the same, that is, no superscript: C3 instead of C3. However, there is an exception to this behavior. If there is a cross reference, the cross reference retains the superscript.
