It's also a good way to try. Thank you.

My linked Word document in RH project contains Heading 1 that set as pagination. And text formatted as Heading 1 is numbered.

When I generate topics, the topic name is '1. Introduction', for example. So how to remove '1.' in this topic name automatically ?

Many thanks.

As far as I am aware the problem is that whilst the number is automatically added every time you use the style in Word, it is ultimately part of the text of the heading when it comes across to RoboHelp.

I haven't tried it but the only thing I can think of is to create a copy of the template used for the document and remove the numbering. Whenever you want to update RoboHelp, you attach the copy template and update all instances of the numbered headings. Afterwards relink the old template. Take backups first in case it all goes belly up.

@Peter - does the Word conversion settings not have something similar to the FM settings where you can customize how a style comes across? In the FM ones, the style defaults to a field with in it - you can type over it to change how you want it to come in. For example, I have formats that run like "see xxx on page yyy" that don't make any sense in WebHelp, so I map them to use "see <$paratext>" instead.

Just asking - I have no Word to RH experience...


@Jeff - Your post contains a link to the post. Did you mean to paste something else in?

I am wondering if this is what you mean.

If so I haven't ever needed to use that but it looks like a candidate for the job in hand. Can you add any more as to how goldfish184 would use it?
