Robohelp 8 HTML wants to use notepad as an editor

Hi,

I'm just getting started with RoboHelp HTML. One of my major tasks will be to import existing Microsoft HTML Help projects into Robohelp. I just imported my first existing MS HTML project into Robohelp using the hhp file. The topics all appear to have imported correctly. However, when I double-click on a topic, the topic opens in Notepad rather than Design Editor. Why are the topics opening in Notepad and are there some settings I can change to make them open in Design Editor instead?

Hi there

Click Tools > Options > Associations tab.

From there, ensure Design View is the default editor, then select the Use Default Editor option.

Cheers and happy RoboHelping! Rick
