How do I decide what version of RoboHelp to use?

Question

I've been tasked with putting together the help files for the 2.0 version of our company's software.

I have RoboHelp 7. I have the PREVIOUS current help files created in RoboHelp for version 2.1 of our software, some of which will be re-used.

I can't determine whether it was RoboHelp Word or RoboHelp HTML that was used to create the ORIGINAL help files.

How do I figure that out? How do I import previous help files into a new project so they can be re-used or modified and then re-used?

Thanks!

RoboHelp HTML projects will have an XPJ file in the root.

RoboHelp for Word projects will have an HPJ file in the root.

If you want help compatible with Chrome and other modern browsers, you need to consider an upgrade from Rh7 HTML. I am not sure if the outputs from later versions of RoboHelp for Word are compatible or whether they have been left behind. Post back if you find you are using RoboHelp for Word.
