Importing Map Files into a Project

Question

Hello,
The programmers at my job create map files, and when map
files are sent to me, they're sent in a format that includes hex
values (e.g.: 0x1177E). I've noticed map files that were imported
in other help projects have this format:
#define ID_Size 1001
Out of curiousity, do map files have to be in the above
format before importing them into a help project, or can RoboHelp
perform a conversion to the above format once map files are
imported?
Since I receive map files from programmers, do they need to
convert the map files to the above format before sending them to
me?
I found something in the Knowledge Base Guided Search on
this, but I want to know if anyone knows of a new process that may
be in the latest version (X5) of RoboHelp.
Thanks,
Felicia

Hi John,
Thanks for your response. These are a few map IDs/map numbers
and how they appear in one of the map files given to me by a
programmer:
HID_SELECTION 0x10005
HID_SNAPS_CANCEL 0x10006
HID_TOOLBARS_PRINT 0x10007
HID_T_FITTING_MANIFOLD 0x11AB2
I wonder, according to what's stated in the Help for
RoboHelp, if the map ID should appear like this before I import the
map file into a project:
#define HID_SELECTION 0x10005
or:
#define HID_SELECTION 65541
Does the "#define" have to be in front of the map ID and map
number before the import takes place?
