Linked word files

Guest
Jun 23, 2015 Jun 23, 2015

Today I have lost my desire. Added 15 linked word files. RH stopped working. Project can be opened but not closed again. Cannot create any SSL. After deleting the database (.cpd) and reopening, the same situation.

Conclusion: RH cannot be used for complex word projects.

Are there any alternatives on the market?

Have you tried experimenting with imported Word content (instead of linked)? Maybe that would behave better. There’s always Flare out there too.

Yes - this was my first approach. But then in - my case - I need to prepare all documents in word first, which requires another programming language, what I wanted to avoid.

Sorry, not following you – what “programming language” are you talking about?

Does not really matter anymore, as I almost gave up the idea using RH for my "word to help" project. I was developing the whole import procedure with JSX under RH. But when I have to move back to Word, I need to use VBS again, which I wanted to work around. There is just a small chance left, probably RH2015 supports more than 10 word files.
