Question

Splitting a large RH 10 project

Tried using drag/drop between 2 open projects so I can split a large project into two.

Either it doesn't work or I'm not doing something right (hopefully the latter!)

Thanks
Bill

Both. You are not doing it right because that way doesn't work.

See Merged Help on my site for some information about splitting projects. Also see your pharmacist for some headache pills.

Thanks, Peter. I appreciate your help in pointing to a way this can be done, but that's an incredibly complicated, tedious and error prone way to handle a conceptually simple requirement. Sure, the programming to fulfill this requirement would be tedious, but being able to drag/drop between projects in different windows would be a powerful organizational tool for every RH user whose books have grown large and need re-organization.

I think my reply rather hinted at the fact it was not going to be an easy solution.

I think the problem with dragging and dropping would be that when you are going to drag Topic 1 and Topic 2, when you drag the first topic, the link to the second topic will not be valid so what is Rh to do? It is the same when you import Word documents that have links.

We don't see many people wanting to do this so I would have to wonder how much resource Adobe would be willing to throw at this solution. Try this link.

Are you aware that importing allows you to import all the topics in a single folder at the same time? Maybe that would help. It will not resolve broken links though. That is why I used the method I did as I inherited thousands of topics with many links to each other.
