RoboHelp 10 Crashes consistently when trying to delete linked FM11 book

I have a linked project where RoboHelp absolutely refuses to display part of a topic and some of the images. So I decided to delete the linked FM book file and start again from scratch (this was a FM10/RH9 project originally). This causes RH to crash consistently. Any ideas?

Sorry to add to the list of problems, but how come a Cross-Reference conversion setting works properly in some places, but not in others (for the exact same cross reference style - Heading & Page). This is happening on the same page.

The second example is exactly the same cross reference setting in FM as the first, but this is not getting converted at all (no hyperlink inserted!)

@Mark - this is probably the result of the "secret" limit on path and file links that I've run into before - move your source FM content into a shorter path and the xrefs will work again.

Try importing as an experiment to see if RH will accept the FM content that way.

Hi Jeff,

Yes, importing the FM book into a new project has worked. But is there a way of 'fixing' my current linked project?

@Jeff,

Done, thanks for all your help.

I thought that moving my project location to a shorter path had solved my Cross references issue, but it hasn't. Here is a page from the Help:

These are all the same Heading style in FM

The X Refs are all to headings within the Current FM file

They are all the same Cross Reference Format (Heading & Page)

Thje Cross Reference conversion setting is set to Para Text in RH

Here is the code for the Graphical Circuit Trace (which doesbn't work) and the Quareo and Analyzer Configuration which does.

<li>Graphical Circuit

Trace - see <a href="Circuit_Trace_Layout.htm#XREF_67922_Graphical_Circuit"><span

class="FM_Emphasis">Graphical Circuit Trace on page 85</a>

for more details</li>

<li>Quareo and Analyzer

Configuration - <a href="Quareo_and_Analyzer_Layout.htm#XREF_15265_Quareo_and">Quareo

and Analyzer Configuration</a> for more details</li>

The extra span class seems to be the problem, but why is it getting applied?

P.S Adobe don't seem able to replicate my problem with the PDF link, so I'm stuck there as I can't get it to work!
