So far we have generated with RH 5 under XP a .hlp project. Can I use under RH 11 HTML continue this project as well? Do the old Anchor links yet, or we have to adapt the Java source code of our software? Thanks and regards

You cannot open a RoboHelp for Word project in RoboHelp HTML so the conversion will be interesting. I would think the best option would be to generate a CHM output with no build expression applied. That would give you a CHM with all the topics. Two ways to do that, one is on my site and free, the other is a script from http://wvanweelden.eu for which there is a charge but you lose less.

If you were generating a CHM before, the calls might still work. I wouldn't like to say for sure on that one.

A small step seems to have been skipped.

After you create the CHM you then decompile it and make a project from it. THEN you can take the free or paid approach to get a project back.

Cheers... Rick
