Importing FrameMaker Projects in RoboHelp

[Guest]

Hi,

I currently have FrameMaker 6.0 and a trial version of RoboHelp HTML 8.  I want to import FrameMaker files (.fm and .book) but get the error message "This operation cannot be completed without FrameMaker. Please instrall FrameMaker and try again"...but I have FrameMaker...

Thanks.

This is a bit of a long shot but are there some FrameMaker Document settings in your Project Settings that are incompatiable with the FrameMaker version you are using. For example, is a FrameMaker template being used that is from a newer FrameMaker version.

Read the RoboColum(n).

I am having the same problem. I have a RoboHelp 8 project and want to import a file from Framemaker 6.0p405.

I even opened the Framemaker book and from there launched RoboHelp. I am still getting the message:

"This operation cannot be completed without FrameMaker. Please install FrameMaker and try again."

In the RoboHelp help, it says:

"FrameMaker book files created in a version earlier than FrameMaker 6 (BK) can only be imported into RoboHelp; they cannot be linked."

So, I'm assuming that I should be able to import a Framemaker 6 file into RoboHelp 8.

Best regards,

Debbie

Have you tried saving the FM6 files as MIF and then importing them into RH8? That might work...
