RoboHelp 7 - URLS in printed documentation

[K_Baine]

I am thinking of upgrading to version 7. Can someone tell me if the Word docs that I generate from my Help files will preserve the links to outside URLs and cross references within the Help files? I have help files with lots of links to websites and cross references, but my current version 5 does not keep the links when I generate a Word doc.

Thanks

Welcome to the forum.

Didn't X5 preserve links to websites?

Certainly links within the project are maintained in RH7, indeed that was introduced in RH6.

There's a useful macro on my site which will run through your Word document adding after each link to a reference within the document "See page nn". In the printed version links are not much use without that. If the link is to something outside the document, the macro leaves it untouched.

Peter, thank you so much for replying. I did not use V6, and no, V5 did not preserve the links. I have been away from RH for a while, and now have the opportunity to upgrade to V7, but didn't want to if these links weren't going to be in my printed output. I couldn't find this feature anywhere in any of the literature.

Thanks again,
K Baine
