In RH2019 New UI, issue with importing a project and then not being able to resolve to the css file

I imported a project into another project. In the imported project, when specifying the css file, I had selected local files and selected the css that way. So when I imported the project to an existing project, even though the file structure was the same, because I had selected local files for the imported project I had to go through and configure each topic to use the css file in my existing project. If I had selected project files in the imported project, would this have just worked on import, if the file structure is exactly the same?

So I went through the topics in my imported project and selected project files and selected the css in my exisiting project. However, the explorer dialog opened and not the internal RH dialog that allows you to select the css file from within the project.

Now though, I cannot generate any word output. PDF and Responsive HTML work fine. When I checked the c:\users\username\appdata\local\temp\rhtmp\word folder, I can see that the output is failing at this imported project, so it is obviously failing to resolve the css.

Do you know how I can fix this? I was thinking maybe in the imported topics try selecting local file and selecting the path to the css in my existing project that way. However, I could generate word output when the imported topics were pointing to the local css file in the original project. So maybe I need to go back to the css file in the original project?

I tried creating a new word preset but it failed. I can generate word output from other projects.

Forget the above.

By comparing the original file with the copy, I have found the root cause. If you look at your version of the topics below in source view, you will see this line.

Alarm Activity Grid

Manual Alarm Type Combo Box

Suppressed Event Grid

Change it as below and the Word document generates.

Even though your topic list may show no filters applied, select one and see if anything shows then.

I just tried deleting the TOC entries for my imported project and was able to generate the word output. At least I have a sort of work around now in that I can just generate output for the imported project separately and just copy and paste them to the same word document. I perhaps could try the import again. The steps I followed were:

In explorer, created a folder in the project for the files I wanted to import
In explorer, copied the project files I wanted to import to the project I wanted to import the files to.
In RH, created a folder for those files and then right clicked my main project and selected Import > Folder.

Something else to try. Recently someone had an issue with their PDF generation failing. The cause was their CSS contained em space definitions. I know you are generating to Word but I wonder if it could be the same issue?

Your project should contain default.css which is what ships. Is that as supplied? If not create a new project to get a clean copy. Add it to your project, renaming if need be.

In the Topic List select all topics, right click and apply that css to all topics. Then generate again.

What I am hoping is that the document will then generate, albeit looking rubbish. Then we know with a bit more certainty that the issue is in your CSS. At that point, we can start checking things out.

Generating with a default css did not work. Also something strange, if I go to the topic list report, none of my topics are listed there. Only two, homepagefooterdark.htm and topicfooterdark.htm? So I just copied over the default.css to the folder instead. I also tried one that I know works but that failed as well.

Open the Topic List Report and change the columns so that you can easily see Stylesheets. Do all the topics show the correct CSS in the combined project? That will rule out issues there or allow you fix them. Select any topics that are not correct, right click and then apply the required CSS.

Try again after that and post back.

Yes it is all correct in the topic list. I have dug a bit deeper and found these errors in the word document. ehtml

I am getting these errors for all the topics in the imported project.
