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.

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.


Egh? The CHM would be on your hard drive. That prompts me to check that with RoboHelp HTML you are working with projects on your local drive? See Snippets on my site for the reasons. Feel free to ask more.
