Mapping FM8 to RH7 -- incomplete mapping?

[mlezak]

Has anyone had problems with mapping FM8 styles to RH7 WebHelp (Not Technical Suite). Any ideas about how to map the paragraph style after the fact? I'm relatively new to RoboHelp, so I could be missing something obvious.

Thanks!

You can re-import the files to be able to access the style mappings dialog. If you don't change how the topics are created (that is, keep the same "Pagination settings" so that your file names remain the same), it will ask you if you want to overwrite the files that are already there. I don't see a way to have RH map the styles after importing, other than to re-import.

Thanks -- I tried that -- This particular format refuses to display in the import Framemaker formats list in RH -- I've made sure that the format exists across the entire manual set (even though it's only used in one chapter) and tried a few other things.

But thanks for the suggestion.

Please check if you have a text entered in the Chapter with that paragraph format applied. If a paragraph format is applied as Autonumbering option alone- RoboHelp may not find that in the MIF document. Enter at least a space with that format.

I see... is it a paragraph format, character, or...?

I think that may be it -- I'll do a little more testing.

Thanks very much.
