Problem with compile after word import

Hi all,

I have an RH6 project that has been generating multiple layouts without a problem. This morning I imported a Word 2003 file and ever since I can't even generate my primary layout (which is Microsoft HTML Help). It does the Copying Files stage, but about halfway through the Updating Files stage I get the message "RoboHelp HTML Application has encountered a problem and needs to close. We are sorry for the inconvenience." I have the option to send or not send an error report. Then RoboHelp closes without finishing the build.

Any ideas on what might be causing this or how to fix it?

Cheers,

darkagn

Did the topic imported have a table with some merged cells and are you using a build expression when you generate? If that could be the case see Snippet 68 on my site. Known problem and a patch is available.
