What options do you see when you click the options for mapping? It should be a list reading
- Import Style
- Delete Style
- Discard content
- Then a list of styles you can map to.
Is anything shown in the last item?
Have you tried more than one document? Perhaps create a new document with just a couple of Heading 1 paragraphs and some normal text.
The process is described in RoboHelp Reimagined but in English.

Danke, Peter für die schnelle Reaktion!
Ja, dort steht:
Heading1, Heading 2,Heading 3 etc.
Das ist ja ok.
Aber in der linken(!) Spalte "WORD STIL" erscheinen die Formate aus dem Word-Dokument nicht.
Dort steht:
Abbildungsverzeichnis
Beschriftung
HTMLAdresse
RGV-berschrift (???)
....siehe Screenshot
According to Google, Verzeichnis means Directory. Do you have styles called Directory 1 etc? If you click on those, do they map the Heading Styles?
Otherwise it looks a bit as if your heading styles are not being seen as such. If you click on one in Word, in the toolbar does it map to Word's Heading styles or something else. In the past I have seen documents where someone has created a style with Heading in the name but it was not a true heading style.

If someone else prepared the document, they might have manually formatted a paragraph to look like a heading. So for example, they somehow click on HTML Address, which is a style MS provides, then manually format it to Arial 28pt Blue (or whatever your style is) so that it looks like a heading. My contributors do this all the time. I have no idea why or how...
Before importing, I always check the document in Draft view with the style area pane displayed so I can see what's going on.
I try it in English, too...
The Mapping of "Verzeichnis1,2,3.." is not correct. "Verzeichnis" (=Directory) is the format for table of content(Inhaltsverzeichnis) or table of figures (Abbildungsverzeichnis), not the format for Headings.
My word document is correctly formatted, the headlines have "true" valid formats, eg.:
And, as i mentioned, with older RoboHelp-Versions it worked in the past.
Nothing wrong with that English. Thanks to Google for getting us all this far!
I am wondering if it is the numbering that is the issue. Save a copy of that document and remove the numbering or use another document to see if that works.
If it does, 2019 styles have an easy autonumbering feature that can be added to your headings to bring that back.
Let us know if that works and the problem can be reported.

Ohhhh, multilevel numbering in Word! I seem to remember it's caused problems in the past.
I've only had a quick play, and I don't really understand what it's doing right now, but look for styles like "Numbering411", "Numbering412".
You should see two of each style. The first will be the definition for the h1, h2, etc. (h1.Numbering411) the second will be the definition for the numbering (h1.Numbering411::before). You can see the code by hovering over "Import style"
On a quick test I could only get the document to import if I left the headings as "Import style". When I tried to map them to either just the heading level without numbering, or to a multi-level numbering scheme, I got the frustrating "there was an error, close everything" error.
However, I'm on Update 5, so if you have Update 6, maybe things will work better.
Here's an example screenshot, where I set up multilevel numbering on Heading 1 - Heading 3 in Word. You can see I have "Numbering411" instead of Heading 1.
I suppose, the problem is actually in the import-interface of RoboHelp 2019.
Because the "Classic"-Version, which is provided with RH2019, is working instantly (with the same Word-File!).
Correct structure, correct numbering, TOC ready...
"Classic"-Version: Import (all Word-styles are correctly recognized, mapping possible oer automatic) :
Result correct:
for comparison (RH2019):
@Amebr: you see, I have no styles like "numberingxxx"
I have relative complex documents and want to avoid elaborate processing in RoboHelp with renumbering etc.
I set up a simple test by creating a document with just a numbered Heading 1 style. It was not available for mapping. I then removed the numbering from the document and it was available for mapping.
I will report that and I am sure Adobe will fix that soon but meantime you need a solution. I suggest you create a new 2019 project and import a copy of your document where you have removed the numbering. The first check will be that it then imports OK. Assuming it does and I believe it will, then go to your heading styles in RoboHelp where you will find the autonumber styles. See if that meets your numbering requirements. If it does, then repeat in your live project or just copy the topics into your main project and repeat the numbering changes on your styles.

I appreciate it is unwanted work but It should only be a case of going to your heading styles in Word and removing numbering from them. That would be the same whether there were hundreds of instances of the headings or just one.
I have reported the problem.

In Word, you have
1 First Heading
... followed by some content
2 Second Heading
... followed by some content
... and so on
Imported with mapping working that would work if you imported as a single topic but I think you want something else. What I think you want is to break the document based on Heading 1 styles so you would have multiple topics where the first topic would be 1 First Heading and the second topic would be 2 Second Heading and so on. In other words, the numbers in Word are retained. That's rather more complex but am I right in what you want?
