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.

OK I see the OLH does indeed say they should convert and you have one project that does do that. If you cannot find the difference I wonder if this idea would work, it will likely depend on the project size. What you could do is create a CHM from RoboHelp for Word and then reverse engineer that into RoboHelp HTML. Whether or not the end result is acceptable is another matter but it is a fairly quick process.

I am sorry I cannot help with the real underlying problem.

I tried to do that and failed. I ran the chm build and then couldn't view it nor access it because here in this environment the IT department blocks chm files.
