Each time I try to create a docx file (from a RH10 project). RoboHelp crashes. I have included a screenshot. How do I fix this?
It also crashes if I select .doc.
If I select 'Generate individual documents' instead of 'Generate single document' it crashes and displays 'Failed to build 'Title Page' as the last line.
(I opened a sample project and I can save that to docx with no problems.)
I'm afraid windows has dimmed the text showing the progress RoboHelp has made.
It says:

The fact that the samples generate OK shows it is something in your project rather than Rh or Word.
Create a duplicate of your print layout and then delete half the topics. If it crashes delete half of what is left until you can generate. If the doesn't crash you know the cause is within what has just been deleted. It's a gradual process.
Does your project contain topics created from Word imports?
See also Print Issues on my site.
Use the single document option while investigating the cause.
Come back to tell us what fixed the problem or if you are still stuck.

I did what you said, deleting half the topics, then trying to save as docx. It kept failing, even when I had just a single topic remaining. So I repeated the exercise, deleting from the bottom instead of the top. But RoboHelp still keeps crashing when I try to create the .docx file.
I am new the the company and so I do not know if the topics contain imports from word. However, looking at the HTML, I do not see any bloated HTML so I don't think this is the case.
Any other ideas?

Given the sample project works, it has to be something in your project. Usually what I suggested tracks it down. Can you share the project with me? See the Contact page on my site and send the project as instructed there. Do make sure you include a link to this thread and please do not email the project direct.

I had a similar problem in RoboHelp 11, samle projects worked fine, but not mine. It turned out that the default.css was corrupt (some office bookmark ruined it). I have reverted and it solved the problem.
