I suddenly can't move files from one folder to another in my FlashHelp project.

[fortangela1000]

I have RH8 (8.02). I have been working on this project for a couple of years now.

What changed? I had imported a Word document and then removed the document and the folder it created from the Project Manager. Now I cannot move any of my files from one folder to another in the Project Manager pod. I susptected a corrupt CPD file so I closed the project, deleted the CPD file. Next I opened Robo from Programes (I never open from the .xpj file), went to Tools>Options and deleted the pinned most recently used project. Select Open, and locate/open the xpj file. I've also re-generated the output (no errors) and completed all these steps again. Of course Robo only goes haywire on me right before I have to publish for our new software release.

Hi,

Are the .fpj files of your project writable? Do you use any form of source control?

Hi there

From what I'm seeing my own guess here is that RoboHelp is still believing that the content belongs to word.

I might suggest the following steps.

Open Winows Explorer and make copies of the HTML files involved. Then from RoboHelp, delete or remove the content. Then use the Import function to add the desired HTML files back into the project into the desired folder.

My thought is that by taking these steps you will have effectively disassociated Word and the topics should now be independent topics that RoboHelp should allow you to manage as you wish.

Hope you get it sorted... Rick

Yes, all my files are writeable. No Source Control. I ended up doing a cold boot on my machine and, low and behold, it was back to normal.  I had even done a restart before that and it didn't fix the problem.  Got to try the easy stuff first! Thanks for your responses and help. Always much appreciated!
