Importing Word 2007 into RH8

Report · Nov 24, 2009

Hi,

It used to be very easy to import a Word document into RoboHelp if it was styled. Every Heading 1 would start a new topic.

Now It doesn't seem so easy - in fact I can't seem to be able to break up a document into topics at all.

Also, the images in the document are not importing. Did they ever? I don't remember.

Thanks for any help,

Marion

In the dialogs when you import you will see an Edit button. Click that and you can set which styles create new topics.

Thanks, Peter. I had found that, but it was kind of backwards compared with the way it used to be. Now I see that you select a style first, then click "Pagination." Pagination? Talk about unintuitive! But I think I have it working now.

Thanks again - as always.
