WinHelp to HTML Help - Questions

[Ges-Wells]

Please bear with me regarding questions because I am not a computer expert .  Currently using RoboHelp7 for Word for 9 projects & now need to be generated as HTML Help and yes we still want to maintain them in RoboHelp7 for Word.

1.  Started with smaller project & generated HTML Help (CHM), clicked on View Results & Cannot open file: mk:MSITStore ...message displays - we found info on the forum but so far no luck in resolving this, is there any new info?

2.  HTML help looks pretty good, but formatting adjustments need to be made.  How is this done?

3.  When RoboHelp project window displays HTML help - .CMN is not listed, even created a separate path (location) for the HTML (CHM) but only .hpj projects are listed & clicked on 'More' then browsed to location of .CHM still not able to open file.

4.  Does text editing or re-formating need to be done in WinHelp project (hpj) & then recompiled using HTML as the primary layout?

Any help is greatly appreciated...

Sorry, none beyond what is already on the forum.

The appearance should be pretty much the same. Maybe you have something specific in mind here but it should the same, namely edit it in RoboHelp for Word.

3.  When RoboHelp project window displays HTML help - .CHM is not listed, even created a separate path (location)
for the HTML (CHM) but only .hpj projects are listed & clicked on 'More' then browsed to location of .CHM still not able to
open file.

Egh?

4.  Does text editing or re-formating need to be done in WinHelp project (hpj) & then recompiled using HTML as
the primary layout? 

Editing is done in Word regardless of the output, winhelp, CHM, webhelp, printed documentation. You edit in Word and then generate the output you require. Maybe that answers some of the above points.

BTW. This question is more related to how you use RoboHelp for Word rather than issues with the output so I have moved it to the appropriate category.
