Importing word, Split topics into seperate pages.

[MrClarkjason]

When importing a word doc via robohelp, the topics render as just one huge html page with ancor tags that click down to the relivant section.

This is not good for a 100 page help guide as it takes a while to load.

What do I need to do to get each topic on a seperate html page from one imported word document?

BTW : I also created a simple 2 page example with H1,H2 and H3 with TOC and robo help still sticks everything on one page long scolling page.

cheers,

Hello J -

Thanks. I don't have RH7 here at work so I can't provide step-by-step import instructions - anyone else able to help today? I could provide RHX5 instructions but they will differ slightly from RH7.

Anyway, I think Word 2007 has html installed by default - previous versions have an extension that you need to install. If you create a doc in Word can you Save As html format? If so, you're good to go. If not, get your installation disk and add the html extension. This is because RoboHelp needs the html extension in Word to import a Word.doc file when creating a WebHelp project.

I'll poke around and post but soon.
