Existing Word files into Robhelp 2022

Hello.  I'm on the struggle bus and am needing some help and clarification.  I'm new to Robohelp.  I have hundreds of Word files that I need to bring into Robohelp.  Ideally, I would like to import all of the files and folders and subfolders into RH 2022 at once.  Is that even possible, I guess is my question?  If I right click in the contents panel, I see a menu that has import file, folder and Word Document options.  If I choose folder and go out and select my folder that contains all of the structure and subfolders and Word files, it brings it into my contents panel and I can expand all of the folders and see my sub folder and what looks like my "files" or topics, but when I double click on the file (or topic to use RH terminology) it is blank on the right hand side.  What am I doing wrong?  I don't know when to use import folder or import word document or link folder or link file.  I'm thoroughly confused because the way my brain thinks this should work is not the way it's working and I can't figure it out.  Any help would be so appreciated.  Thank you.

Jennifer Rogers

Importing multiple Word files in Robohelp 2022 cannot be done.  Robohelp 2019 Classic and prior versions had this cabpability and they removed it in the new UI.  Thank you all for the information.  I stepped away from the project for just a little bit and am now back to trying to figure it all out again.  Peter, your Robohelp 2022 help files has been extremely valuable.  Thank you.

It's more than two pictures. You seem to have two profiles. If you click the username of each, you get two lists of topics.

 

I suggest you go into whichever one you will use in the future and change the name to JenniferXXX where XXX is an alpha string. That way we can recognise your posts and run for cover. 🙂

Ha!!  I can't be as stealthy if I just have 1 profile, Peter 🙂  How in the WORLD did that happen?  I'll go in and fix it.   I would like to shorten my username, too.  I think I saw where we can do that.  Thank you for letting me know.  I honestly don't know how that even happened.

I figured out how this happened.  I have a a work Adobe user id and I also have my personal Adobe ID, which is redundant, but I can't use Adobe Express through my work id (for some reason it's blocked), but through my personal Adobe id I'm able to use Adobe Express and that's why I have kept my perosnal.  I logged in to my personal the other day to use Adobe Express to convert an image and never logged out.  At least I know what happened to get 2 profiles on the forum 🙂

That's fine but it will help you and others if the two are differentiated and used as appropriate. Then all your RoboHelp posts going forward will be in one profile.

Looks like it's updated now, Peter.   I guess I'll leave this open bc i marked it a while back with correct answer but I someone else responded in the last day or so.    I'm going to leave it alone from here.  Thanks for letting me know about the 2 profiles.  I'll be posting from the other from here on out.
