I have a large RH 8 webhelp project that I am trying to upgrade to RH 11

I have been unable to import (I get an error that my project has "inconsistencies"), so I linked my files and am trying to recreate the project. Not bad so far, but none of my links work. How do I adjust the style between the two RH versions?

What’s going on? You fire RH 11 (all patched up, right?) and open the old RH8 project’s .xpj file (which you’ve backed, right?) and what happens?

I am not opposed to recreating the project by importing all of the Word files; that does not seem too severe. However manually fixing every hyperlink is too severe.  While looking at the page on Peter's website I see a possible solution, but have another question. It suggests that I edit the word documents to use the same styles as in the css file. How do I view the styles in the css file? Can I create a new css file based on styles I have from one of my Word files?


Just so we catch everyone up on what's been going on off-line: Mark has sent me one of his smaller projects that I was able to open in RH11 by selecting the .hpj file. It's clearly a WinHelp file project and was able to be opened (after a long time of "Not Responding" messages) with only 1 reported broken link, but with almost every topic with a big chunk of font names stuck at the top - I suspect some artefact of the opening process did that. I suggested that he have a look at Peter's site (this location - Importing Using RoboHelp 9, 10 and 11) because I've got zippo experience in importing or linking to Word docs.

I think the question about matching the styles can be done by setting up the same styles in RH first (I think that they get saved in some default css file in a new project), that you can then use during the Word import process to match up Word styles and RH styles.
