Question

Linking of Projects to a master

I'm importing MS Word files into RoboHelp to create a.chm file. RoboHelp enables me to merge a project file with another. My question now is: the merge file doesn't pick up any changes to the original project file - even after compiling the original and merged files.

Using Windows Explorer I've discovered that a copy of the .chm file was made to the master project folder for the merging. Is it at all possible to have changes/updated reflected in the master project without having to re-do the merging exercise, please?

Thanks! I'll try that.

You can just copy the updated file into the same directory, no re-merge required.

(I hate the fact that RH copies the file in...our merged files are shipped separately at different times and there was at least one case where an old file got shipped as part of the wrong product because of this "feature"...but that's another story.)
