Question

Generating JavaHelp layout off Imported Word doc.

Hi,

I am importing two Word docs (.docx) and generating JavaHelp layout using RoboHelp 9.  It is generating only one .htm file i.e. just one topic for each Word doc.  Is this good for context sensitive help (i.e. Help menu on different GUI will open the relevant section) ?  In older RoboHelp, I saw many topics (i.e. .htm files) were created based on the Header levels (e.g. Header 1,2,3) I selected in Import wizard.  RoboHelp 9 did not let me set the Header levels for splitting the Word doc, so I am wondering what I have missed.

Thanks for any hint.

You should have seen a button for editing Word doc settings in the Conversion Settings dialog - that allows you select your style to paginate (break into topics) upon.

Hi Jeff,

Thanks.  I saw that option to edit the setting, but I am not sure how I tell RH to make topics by splitting down to Header 3 (1,2, and 3).  There are the Heading list under "Paragraph" under "Word Document Setting".  So, do I select Heading 3 and select the Pagination check box?

You select pagination for every style you want. So if you want new topics for Headings 1, 2 and 3, you tick Pagination for each of those styles.
