I thought I saw a string about this on the forum awhile back
but cannot locate it now. We need to add a lot of content from an
RH for Word Help project to an HTML Help project. Specifically,
topics with images and hotspots. Is it possible to import these
topics as is, or will we need to recreate them in RH HTML?
First, thanks for the speedy reply! That makes sense!
So...How do I create a .CHM from the old RH4Word project? Can I
just open the project in RH HTML and compile it there? Then, how do
I decompile and import the topics?
This probably sounds like elementary RH. I have worked in RH
off and on for years, but there are so many things I still don't
know.
I tried opening the old project in HTML, with all the default
settings on the wizard, and it hangs partway through. If it's
possible, what do I need to set differently?
I opened the project in RH4 Word and tried to generate it as
a Microsoft HTML project. It got partway through the process and
then froze. I used the defaults: Create subfolders based on source
document names, Create image subfolder, External style sheet (one
for each source doc), Image Scrools with Text, Smart Popups,
Individual HTML files, GIF Images, HTML bullets and numbering, Link
to external HTML Help topic, Create Compiled CHM file only, Add
keywords to Index file (HHK). Should I use different defaults? What
might cause problems compiling?
Sadly, it freezes when I try to open the .hpj file into a new
HTML project. Again, could it be the default settings? I just
compiled the files in RH4 Word with no problem before trying to
compile HTML in RH4 Word and trying to open the .hpj file in HTML.
Any other suggestions?
