Hi there

Upgrading shouldn't affect any links or formatting. The process is simple and straightforward.

1. Make a backup copy of the project for our friend Justin. (Justin Case)

2. Start RoboHelp 10

3. Open the project in RoboHelp 10 and RoboHelp just does its thing.

Cheers... Rick

I am using robohelp for Word, I used the rtf but it seems like some ifnot all links, jumps came in as text. However, maybe I did something wrong in the process.

Are there step by steps insturctions?

The following are the steps I performed:

  1. Started in a new environment
  2. Copied the help file to a new location
  3. Opened the RTF and file save as docx
  4. removed the doc files
  5. Started Robohelp10

and found that the formatting/jumps and/or links was not brought in.


In that case this discussion should have been initially posted in the RoboHelp for Word forum category.

I'll now move it there so the few users that may be able to help might see it.

Part of the issue with using RoboHelp for Word is that the user base for it is in a great (and shrinking daily) minority. As the base shrinks and folks move away from it, tribal knowledge dwindles as an inevitable result.

Cheers... Rick
