Question

Peculiar problem - How to apply global formatting on .hlp file imported into Robohelp?

  • July 2, 2009

I have imported a .hlp file into robohelp. Everything work fine (inlcuding the TOC and index). However, the text formatting shows 'none' in the styles. This is a huge project running into over 1500 topics.

Is there a way to globally apply 'normal' style to the project? Or, I need to go to each topic and apply the styles manually, which would be a herculean task .

Please help.

Thanks,

-Ejaz

    RoboHelp for Word or RoboHelp HTML?

    Which version? X5, RH6, 7 or 8?

    It sounded like after you created the CHM, you then created another HLP file. You need the CHM but I could not see why you would then do anything with the HLP file.

    Take the CHM and reverse engineer it as described on my site.

    I could solve the problem.

    This is what I did -

    Imported the xpj file in RoboHelp html. Associated a customized css. The project opens exactly how I wanted. The styles are also intact.

    Thanks.
