Linking RoboHelp9 to Word 2010

Hello again,

RH 9.0.2.271, Word 2010, Windows 7

I want to keep my Word document as the source document (because of equations and their updating).

I linked RoboHelp9 to Word using the File > Link command. After mapping the styles and updating, I now find that the files in RoboHelp are completey editable and they shouldn't be--to avoid losing changes.

Does the link command not work properly? I have repeated this process several times to ensure that I am not accidentally importing the file. I start with a brand new project each time.

Thanks for any help.

Linking doesn't mean that they aren't editable in RH - it just means that you shouldn't because you'll lose your edits the next time you update/refresh from the source.

Thanks, but eeekkk!

Not sure about the eeekkk! You wouldn't give your authors access to RH, right? They would just update the Word docs and you (the one who knows better) would use RH as an output tool.
