Question
Multi-File Find and Replace
Hello, and thanks in advance for any help.
My product name was changed, so I used the Multi-File Find and Replace command to update the documentation. I intended to select a sub-folder, but soon realized that I had selected the folder, and RoboHelp was replacing ALL instances of the old name in too many places. No way to escape or cancel.
Anyway, after this Replace, I am now unable to open any of these changed files in Word. The error message says, "Word experienced an error trying to open the file. Try these suggestions...." Then it recommends checking the permissions, disk space and opening with Text Recovery. I have the permissions and the space, and Text Recovery gets me the same error; besides, I'd like to get the formatting back too, not just the text.
Any ideas? Thanks so much.
