Problem importing winhelp files into Robohelp 8

I am converting five help systems. I successfully imported three of them, but when I try to import the other two, a lot of files are created (I'm not sure if it's all of them), but no .xpj file.

Before importing the files, I added page breaks to each document to eliminate the font lists (see Mr. Grainge's snippet 56). I also had to change the Image folders setting, because I had to move the source files to a different server and the project stored the absolute path from my old PC.

For one of the successful ones, I forgot to change the Image folder settings, and it did not create the .xpj. When I changed the Image folders, it imported fine.

I appreciate the help that I've received by reading posts over the years. I hope that someone can help with this problem.

BTW: I tried deleting the [project name].rtf file, and that did not help.

"Move to a different server"

I hope you are not storing the project on a server. That's a big NO NO with RoboHelp HTML. Return to Snippets for an explanation.

Sorry for the confusion, I meant machine, not server. The files are on the same machine as the program. I access it by remote desktop.
