Hi,

I am running RoboHelp X3 and recently upgraded to Windows XP running Word 2003 and now cannot generate printed documentatation because of problems with Word. Despite changing the registry as suggested in another forum post (which I think was actually about importing, but sounded similar) http://www.adobe.com/cfusion/knowledgebase/index.cfm?id=rb_61483 the error still occurs.

Winword.exe only appears in C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\OFFICE11 if I enable access to hidden files. Could this have anything to do with the problems I am having?

Can anyone help with this problem?

Thanks

X3 is not compatible with Word 2003. You need to upgrade RH to X5 and install the patch that is available for X5 only or downgrade your Word version.

The link your proved is for when RH cannot find a valid version.

Thanks for the reply Peter. That's a shame about Windows 2003 because this would be the only reason I would be upgrading to X5, which seems like a waste of $800...

Does anyone have any ideas on how to make RoboHelp compatible with Word 2003 without upgrading. to X5? If not, I guess I'll have to use Word 2000 for now, and then upgrade.
