Question

Word Index importing problem

Hello Everyone.

I am using RoboHelp HTML 7.02.001.
I created a new project for importing Word documents (Word 2003 SP2) into.
There is close to 100 files, all fairly small with Index Entries defined.(These were broken out of 9 training manuals)

From a prior posting, I was advised the output should be WebHelp since the users will gain access to this through the company Intranet.
The Project Settings has Index > Add New Keywords to > Index File (HHK). And Binary Index is checked but I don't think it is required.

I am importing multiple Word documents into a folder in the project at a time.
The Import Word Document Wizard:Conversion Options screen opens and the following items are checked.
Preserve heading styles
Convert Table of Contents
Convert Index
Add new keywords to Index file (HHK)
I am then choosing to create only 1 Master Style Sheet which is later changed.

The Word Document Wizard:Split on Style window screen opens and all checks are removed because this step has already been completed.

My problem: The index is blank after the import.

How do I fix this without having to edit every HTML page?

Any help will be appreciated.
Thanks
Julie

I might have figured this out.
I had created a folder for each manual I would be importing. I then imported directly into that subfolder and the index did not create.
If I import the Word document directly into the HTML Files (Topics) folder it seems to work.

Does anyone else have an idea?

Post the question in a third thread?

Send me one of the documents via my site and I will take a look.

This is not a 3rd thread.

The company's security settings have you blocked as Blogs/Personal Pages and I have not been able to get them to add this site to the OK list yet.
Can you look at it another way?
Would you like the Original Word Doc? and/or the converted Robohelp page?

Thanks.
