I have been trialing RoboHelp for 25 days now and it has been
working great. Everything so far has been working better that I
expected. Only just recently I decided to try out Sandcastle.
Sandcastle looks at the XML Comments of a project and generates a
.hhp file (HTML Help Project)
Since a .hhp would generate a .chm (Compressed HTMLHelp
Metafile) this would require a full download of the .chm file
everytime it is updated. I would really like to change this into a
WebHelp format so that I may publish the help online. The issue
comes at the import into RoboHelp.
The HTML page displays correctly when used in the .chm as
well as a stand alone page, but when i import this page into
RoboHelp the display, controls, everythign is affected drastically.
Here is a picture comparing the two files visually.

I wish to know if it is possible to import the .hhp without
lossing the usability and feel of the help file. Is this just an
issue because it is a trial version over the full version. I am
looking to purchase this software, and if i could get this to work
correctly that would make the process even speedier.
Here are sample files if you wish to test on your own.
