Trying to create a WebHelp project from 2 yr old files

[Ron98]

I have inhertited an old WebHelp project that I need to recreate. The files are from 2006 and I need to generate a new help system. Do I need to import these 2 yr old files or can I start a New Project within RoboHelp.

Welcome to the forum.

Why can't you just carry on updating the source and generate a new output? Are you saying you only have the output, not the source?

I do have the source files, I will create a new project and import all 350 files into the new project. Thanks

Why create a new project?

If you want to keep the old project to be able to regenerate the previous output, just use Windows to make a copy and use that to continue working.

You don't have to create a new project, but I think it's the most effective way to get a clean update from the old .css and html code.

You can make a copy of the entire source project directory, launch RH7 and open the project file. RH tells you it will update the project, and you can't go back to an earlier version fom RH. (That's why you saved a copy.) Click Update and, if it's a big project, be patient.
