Merging RH7 projects

Question

I currently have 12 individual projects which each hold
several duplicate topics. There are in total 420 .chm files spread
into these projects. This was due to the restriction of the number
of build tags in RHX5. One of the projects has menu pages which
links to all of these .chm files.

Now that i have RH7 and source control it looks like it will
be easier to have one large project for myself and 4 other authors
to update from, rather than the current 12 projects (which are
currently stored on 4 separate hard drives).

Is there anyway of merging all of these projects into one
(all i can find is merging projects on the TOC, which isn't what
i'm looking for)?

Hope you can help?!!!

Import all the topics into one project. There are no tools to merge things like the index, the toc and the glossary but you might want to open the files in Notepad to explore manually merging them there. Just make sure you backup at different stages to make sure you can go backwards in case of need.

Keep it out of source control until you are happy you have got the one project working AOK.
