Best way to import X5 HTML into RoboHelp6?

[TechWriterKat2]

The reason I'm considering upgrading to RH6 is to keep the hyperlinks active when I create printed documentation. RH6 does this, but only if the document was created in or imported to, RH6 -- at least that has been my experience while testing with the free demo from Adobe. Since the document is HUGE, importing all of these files and re-creating the TOC, Index, and Glossary the way they used to be is daunting. Any suggestions would be most welcome! A little history: The document I inherited was orignally created in Frame, then imported into RX5. Please Help! -- Kat

Hi Kat

I'm guessing that what you are seeing here is a limitation of the trial. You are limited to a total of 25 topics in the trial version. So perhaps these links are missing for the simple reason that you are exceeding the 25 topic limit!

Thanks for the reply Rick. Actually I think it was user error. I forgot to check RETAIN HYPERLINKS when generating printed documentation. DUH! At least I can admit when I've been a doofus. . .So it wasn't the topic limit, it was user mind limit. . .

All's well that ends well, eh?

Glad you got it sorted!
