Question

converting RH 5 Word to RH 8 Word and then to RH 8 HTML broken links

Has anyone encountered problems getting the authorable button links to work when converting from RH 8 Word to RH 8 HTML and found a solution? The hot spot image links work great. The Related Topics links work great. However, i can't get the authorable button links to convert successfully as hyperlinks when I convert from RH8 Word to RH8 HTML. RH 8 HTML only retains the button image when I convert. Thanks in advance for any help on this.

What do you mean by "authorable button links"?

Under the Images folder, there is a folder of Authorable Buttons with macro properties that link to another topic. These authorable buttons are supposed to convert and work within the new HTML topic when I convert but no matter which settings or HLP or HPJ I select, I cannot successfully convert them.

Struggling on this one as it is so long since I used RoboHelp for Word and produced WinHelp. It sounds like what you are describing might be what is known as See Also in RoboHelp HTML. Where are you seeing something that says the should convert?

i know what you mean about Word - first I had Robohelp Word 5 projects to convert to Robohelp Word 8 and now I'm trying to get them rolled over to RoboHelp HTML 8. The Adobe Help for RoboHelp HTML says when importing hlp or hpg files to HTML that the conversion maintains the authorable buttons - http://help.adobe.com/en_US/RoboHelp/8.0/RoboHTML/WSAB61F3B3-44DF-4a6e-91D9-BB9E6DFC8458.html

One of the files successfully converted with the authorable buttons becoming hyperlinks but the other three that I've tried are not converting - RH just brings the button image over without a link or even an HTML reference.
