Question
problems with merging
Last month I requested help from this forum regarding merging
projects in RoboHelp. The assistance I received was most helpful,
but I have encountered additional problems. The situation in a
nutshell:
We have help topics going back a few years; in fact, they cover school years 2004-05, 2005-06, 2006-07 and 2007-08. As you can imagine, our Help project is getting quite large. So, my idea was to create a new project for the 2008-09 year and merge it into our existing project.
I’ve created a “practice” project, in which I have a couple of “current” topics, and have merged a couple of projects into it. So far, only one problem has arisen. There are hyperlinks in a topic residing in one of the projects (referring to text on the same page as the hyperlinks) that seem to work just fine. However, in “Project B,” when I create hyperlinks (for one thing, I get the warning about links to external files – I click OK and go on), they don’t work at all. I get either a “cannot find this page” message or a blank screen.
Is there a problem with merging projects into existing projects as I have described?
Thanx for any help!
