Converting .chm File

[JKersh]

I've had an incident with a system restore (I didn't know RoboHelp files were considered "system files"), and I've lost my source files for two projects. Didn't there used to be a way to "open" a chm file and convert it to its source files? I can't remember the right word to use, so I keep talking around it. I've looked on my Tools tab (X5), and I'm not seeing anything that looks like what I need. Is this functionality still around?

Thanks,

Hi Jeff

Locate the .CHM in Windows Explorer and try right-clicking it. There used to be an option labeled "Convert to source" when you did that.

Cheers... Rick

JKersh,

If you obtain/download the Microsoft HTML Help Workshop, there is an option to decompile CHMs. The HTML workshop is a freebie, you can probably just get it off of Microsoft's website.
