Where do you set the topic break level when importing/linking from FrameMaker?

I have the Technical Communication Suite. I'm importing a FrameMaker 9 book into a RoboHelp HTML project.

How do I tell it where to break the topics?

That is, I followed these instructions from the RH help, but I ended up with only 1 topic per chapter.

  1. Create a project in RoboHelp.
  2. Select File > Link > FrameMaker Documentt.
  3. Select FrameMaker BOOK (book files) from the Files Of Type pop-up menu.
  4. Browse to select the FrameMaker book file and click Open.

and then...

  • Right-click the linked FrameMaker document from the Project Manager pod and then select Update > Generate.

When and where do I specify that I want a new topic every time it sees a FrameMaker Heading 1 or Heading 2 paragraph tag?

This is covered in the Framemaker Integration forum - look for "pagination"

Aha! I saw Pagination, but I didn't realize that "pagination" meant "break topic here."

And I didn't realize there was a separate FrameMaker Integration forum.  Thanks!
