Is there any specific help topics in RH9 that provide details on converting RH5X projects and help into RH9? 

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks in advance,

Matt

    Hi Matt.

    Check out the RoboHelp menu at Peter Grainge's site. It has some details of what to expect in RH9. We are still on RH8 here but upgraded to RH8 and I have some pages on my blog with our findings.

    It would be impossible to document what you ask as so much would depend on what you put into X5.

    The Using RoboHelp 9 page will cover some of the issues found. The most important thing would be to note there is a Service Release for RoboHelp 9 and you should apply that before you start work.

    The area you are most likely to have problems is lists. See the Lists page on my site.

    Create a zip copy of your X5 project. Then if anything goes wrong, you can unzip that and try again.

    See www.grainge.org for RoboHelp and Authoring tips

    Hi Peter,

    I was able to convert the RH5 into RH9; so thank you for your help.   Another question if you don't mind....

    How can I make a copy of the converted RH9 project with a unique new name, copying all exisiting word docs, images, etc?

    butNeed to create a duplicate with a unique name, so that I can edit each separately for different software versions we develop.

    Look forward to your help - once again!

    Matt
