quickest way to create a similar project

Question

I'm using RH8 and I have many similar projects to create. I'll be replacing specific words, perhaps adding new pages here and there but my TOC will remain the same. Basically I just want to copy one project to create a new project and then replace specific words and minor changes for the new project. I want to do this the quickest way with little problems. The way I approached it was to create a blank project and import html topics from a previous project. Is there an easier way to do this? These are small projects so it's not that time consuming to do this way but in the future I may have much larger projects to deal with this way. Any ideas for quickest, best practice way of doing this?

Hi thereIn my own opinion, the fastest way would be to use Windows Explorer to copy the project folder. Then open the project in the new location and click File > Rename Project.From there, you simply tweak it.However, if it's just a few words here and there in topics, you might want to keep it all in a single project and use Variables along with Conditional Build Tags and Conditional Build Expressions to control what goes into the output.Cheers...
