Hi Vivek,
We are using RoboHelp6 till now. We use WebHelp layout for help generation. I just downloaded and installed RoboHelp8. I tried to open my RoboHelp6 project using 'Open' option on RoboHelp8 UI, it allowed to open the project using .hpj file but it shows old references/images. Then I tried to import my RoboHelp6 project using 'Import' option on RoboHelp8 UI. Here option for importing 'WebHelp' project is not present. May I know that whether I can open RoboHelp6 project in RoboHelp8?
Please reply.

You can upgrade a RH6 project to RH8. You just open the RH6 project in RH8 and don't need to import anything. If you have images and references to old files I bet they are also there in RH6. If they are not, can you be more specific about the problems you are facing.
BTW you need make a backup of your RH6 projects before opening in RH8 as there is no going back.
Read the RoboColum(n) for mutterings on RoboHelp, Technical Communication Suite and technical communication.

Hi,
Ok. I am able to upgrade the RoboHelp6 project to RoboHelp8. Thanks for the support. One more query I have: If I decide to use ADOBE AIR as my primary layout then How should I implement context sensitive help using AIR? Is it possible to launch context sensitive help without using browser/pop-ups?
Regards,
Jitin.

I stand to be corrected but I believe that is possible via the CSH API. That is something your developers would have to figure out.

First time in forum...... My question is, I have Robohelp 8 coming...... I have books on Robohelp 7. Will these books be good enough or do I need to get books on 8? In other words is the difference between 7 and 8 drastic enough to where I wont be able to figure it out with the RH7 books?
Thanks,
Joe

Hi Joe. Welcome to the RH forums.
As with any new version of a product, there are differences. To get an idea of what has changed, I'd start with Peter Grainge's excellent tour around the new features. You can find it here and once you've seen it you'll be able to judge. The answer from where I sit is "it depends" 🙂
