Using Word templates

[Te-au-si]

Hi,

I want to export my Robohelp 7 HTML help to a Word document. I want the output to look exactly like the main help file, but want to add some headers and footers using a Word template,

Here's what I've tried:
In the Single Source Layouts> Printed Documentation.
In the Print Document Appearance step of the dialog.
Using the Microsoft Word Template drop-down options:

When I select 'Use the Project's CSS styles' the topics come out looking just as I want it, but as it's not using a Word template there are no headers or footers.
When I select any attempt at a Word template I've created, it just seems to ignore it and go with the styles on Style Mapping.dot.
When I try to edit Style Mapping.dot, it seems to ignore any changes I make and goes back to the default.

Any advice on how to creat a template that will work, or how to turn my Robohelp CSS into a template that will work, much appreciated.

Thanks

Simon

You cannot define the headers and footers before the document is created. They do get overwritten as you have found. See Printed Documentation on my site.

You might want to submit a feature change.
