WebHelp generates successfully but .htm file not recognized as a Help Project file.

RoboHelp HTML Version 7.

Hi,

I successfully generate the WebHelp but when I try to preview the output, I get the attached error. This also happens if I try to open the file directly from the generated project. The project is stored locally on my C drive.

I've tried to find help online, but I think most problems with opening projects relate to the pre-generated files. My project opens as it should and I can work as normal, I only have a problem with opening the generated WebHelp.

Any suggestions are much appreciated!

Thanks in advance,

Elaine

Whoops, this is a case of user error - I should have tried the simple things before assuming something had gone drastically wrong when generating WebHelp I had my 'Open with' set to RoboHelp as default, so it couldn't open the htm file in the browser.

Hope I didn't waste anyones time and maybe (trying to redeem myself) this might help some other befuddled user one day
