Can Comments in Word be linked into RoboHelp?

I use Comments in Word to ask my boss questions or remind myself to do something. I sometimes need the same notes after linking the Word document in RoboHelp HTML 11. From what I can tell, the comments don't transfer over, but perhaps I'm wrong?

Heading topic not added to auto-generated TOC

Using RoboHelp HTML 11.

I'm linking a Word document into my project, and having it create the Table of Contents automatically. I have it create new pages at Word's Heading 1 and Heading 2.

Typically, a section in Word will be like this:

Heading 1

Body

Heading 1.1

Body

Heading 1.2

Body

In the TOC, it will create a book labeled "Heading 1", and pages for Heading 1.1 and Heading 1.2. There's no page for Heading 1 or the body text that goes there.

I can manually add the Heading 1 page to the book, but I suspect that I don't need to. Is there some setting that I'm using wrong? Or a trick or workaround?

Thanks.

After syncing a linked Word document, what must I redo?

Using RoboHelp HTML 11. I'm going to try making a project by linking a Word document instead of importing. Before I do, I want to be clear: what changes in the project will be lost, and must be re-done, each time I update the link to the Word document?

For instance, will I have to reapply the Master Page to all the topics? How about the TOC?

Thanks.
