Hello, I converted just after the first of the year. Here are
issues I encountered.
1. you will need to replace any curly quotes (single or
double) with straight quotes in your doc. Preferably shut this
option off in Word under autocorrect. The utf-8 feature does not
handle curly quotes. Basically when it encounters a curly quote, it
deletes it in the output.
2. the robohelp.dot file is set to automatically update the
template. I'm told there is a way to shut this feature off, but I
haven't found it yet. This is annoying.
3. when you generate a chm, the dialog box to launch the chm
comes up with an mskstor error. This may have something to do with
the character sets. The chm still works, you just may not be able
to launch it from the db.
4. you will need to setup the properties to generate the chm
file. the webhelp was fine. I lost the chm settings during the
conversion.
Otherwise, it is do-able. Hope this helps
In one project, I have 12 docs. 951 topics. I generate chm
for my testing, but deploy webhelp using RH7 for Word.
