How do I import RH for Word WinHelp project into RH7 HTML?

I'm trying to convert a WinHelp project (created by someone else in RH5 for Word) into a full HTML Help project in RH7, so that I can build HTML Help or WebHelp outputs.

I have tried Menu > File > New > Project > Import tab > select WinHelp Project. In the Wizard, I select the Help Project to Import, click Next, then select the Output folder. But there are no Source Documents listed to import. They are visible in Windows Explorer, but RH7 does not see them. I cannot step Back / Next or Finish without selecting files, so I can only Cancel and try again.

Any ideas anyone?

Work-around

I discovered by trial and error that if I open the RH5 WinHelp project in RH7 first, then close it, this adds lots of other files to the project folder.
Then I can import it into RH7 HTML.

That solves this question.
