Cannot Create Text-Only Topic File in RoboHelp 7

Question

I've been trying to add context-sensitive text-only help to my project using ROBOHELP 7. However, when I select "Create/Import What's This? Help File" it

does not create the file when I enter the file name on the Create/Import What's This? Help File dialog box. I enter the file name and clicl Open BUT the file is not created....weird.

How can I create this file so i can create text-only help.

Thanks in advance:-)

Hi thereI posted this in response to the same question you posted on HATT.Hi there  I decided to see if I could sort this. It seems illogical, but here is what I seem to have discovered. When you right-click the "What's This? Help Files" and choose Create/Import, one might assume that you would be able to create a new file. But this doesn't seem to be the case. So here's how I overcame it. From the dialog, right-click and choose to create a new Text file. Nothing will seem to appear (at least it didn't for me). Dismiss the dialog, then repeat the process. You should see a file named New Text Document.txt. Right-click and name it what you like. Then you will be able to point at this document via the dialog.  Cheers...
