RoboHelp 7 - URLS in printed documentation

Question

I am thinking of upgrading to version 7. Can someone tell me
if the Word docs that I generate from my Help files will preserve
the links to outside URLs and cross references within the Help
files? I have help files with lots of links to websites and cross
references, but my current version 5 does not keep the links when I
generate a Word doc.

Thanks

Peter, thank you so much for replying. I did not use V6, and no, V5 did not preserve the links. I have been away from RH for a while, and now have the opportunity to upgrade to V7, but didn't want to if these links weren't going to be in my printed output. I couldn't find this feature anywhere in any of the literature.

Thanks again,
K Baine

Welcome to the forum.Didn't X5 preserve links to websites?Certainly links within the project are maintained in RH7,indeed that was introduced in RH6.There's a useful macro on my site which will run through yourWord document adding after each link to a reference within thedocument "See page nn". In the printed version links are not muchuse without that. If the link is to something outside the document,the macro leaves it untouched.
