Question

This may be a dumb question but is there an upgrade to RH 9 for Word?

We bought RH for windows in 2012.  It came with the HTML version 9 and Robo Help for Word 8...which must have been upgraded in the background to RH 9 for Word, because that is what is now showing in "About RoboHelp" and that is not what was originally showing.  Is there a RH for Word 10?  We have two projects that will not convert nicely to HTML, lost a ton of external links, so for those I have to stick to RH for Word.  If there is a 10 we might be interested in getting so I can use Word 10.

Rh9 did not ship with Rh for Word 8. The numbers have always matched.

Rh9 shipped with RoboHelp for Word 9. Rh10 shipped with RoboHelp for Word 10. Those numbers relate to the Rh version by the way so it's not clear what you mean when you refer at the end to Word 10. Do you mean Word 2010.

There were very few changes other than Word version compatability.

As Rh11 stopped shipping with RoboHelp for Word, you may have to bite the bullet and find out why the external links break. I wonder if creating a CHM from RoboHelp for Word and then reverse engineering that into Rh HTML might work? See Reverse Engineering on my site.
