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?

Correct answer Jeff_Coatsworth

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?

That seems short enough - what about the full path to the xref that's misbehaving?
