Hello,

I have a an old and big (about 300 topics) Robohelp for Word project, which was used to create Winhelp files with Robohelp version 5x.

Now I want to upgrade to Robohelp 10 and create Winhelp aswell as Html helpfiles. Is there any chance I can use the old project with the new version?

I already tried to open it with the new version of Robohelp for Word but the generated helpfiles were corrupt. I also tried to import the Word file and the Winhelp file but it didnt work either.

And is it possible to use any of these files to create a new Html project with Robohelp 10?

I'm thankful for any tips.

Johann

Hi Johann,

It should be possible. However, depending on whether the RH4Word project predates RH X5 and how far back, you may have some bad codes that are causing the corruption. Are you familiar with the RH4Word WinHelp codes? The answer will affect the approach that I suggest.

Regards,

Neil

Hi Neil,

sorry for my absence - I got sick last week...

I'm not really familiar with the code, but I'm working on that. I already noticed that I get a better result when I dont use WYSIWYG mode.

Do you have any other suggestions?

Regards,

Johann

The easiest solution, if it works, is to try to export

the RH4Word project out to Word and then import that

Word document back into RH10. Note that when I refer

to the "Word document", I'm referring to the Word

document created from RH4Word, NOT your original Word

document. Let me know if that's actually what you

meant. If it isn't, give it a try and let me know

the result.
