Importing Word doc into Previously Existing Project Corrupts Related Topics

Hi,
I had a few extra topics that I documented in a Word document
and imported that document into an existing HTML Help project in
RoboHelp. After doing this, it used the CSS file called by the new
folder it added for those new topics (based on the name of the
imported word doc) and when I look at topics in WYSIWIG, the text
on them is Design_Time Con. (I used the text only style of related
topics). When I select the related topic button in WYSIWIG and view
the popup, the menu choice for properties is deactivated so I can't
even edit the topics in them. And, when I try to add a new related
topic, it looks the same "corrupted" way.
What am I going to do? Is there are project setting that is
pointing to the wrong directory? What can I do to save my related
topics. I have over 400 topics all with related topics buttons and
each has an average of 6-8 related topics listed.

P.S. I also tried creating a new project and importing the
htm files into it but it is doing the same thing.
Here is the code for the Related Topics in one of the topics
as a sample:

  • Nd suggestion for importing Word doc into Pages template....

    I have a rather lengthy Word file that I want to import into Pages using one of its templates (Travel Journal). Is there a way to import the Word file directly into this template?
    I know you can import a Word doc into Pages but once you do that, you have to do the designing from scratch (or at least that what it looks like you have to do).
    I like the Travel Journal template and wanted to use that for my Word doc. Any suggestions for getting my Word doc into this template, without having to cut and paste each section?
    I like the template because of the varied page layout options and I don't want to have to recreate from scratch!
    Help!

    Hello Debbie,
    as I know there is no way to get what you want. I think you have to load the Word document into Pages and than you have to copy and paste all the text and media objects into the Pages template.

  • Issues with importing word docs into robohelp 10

    I currently have an issue when I try to import a 'saved as: 97-2003' or 'MS Word' doc or docx into Robohelp 10, I receive the following error:
    Any assistance with this would be appreciated.
    In the meantime I've been converting everything from a doc/docx format to a pdf and then importing.
    However, it would be nice to know why I can't perform the task as I have shared
    PS...
    With regards to the error statement: "Please install Microsoft Word 2000 or newer"? I have Microsoft Office 2013 installed (and not the student or home version). "I'm not the sharpest tool in the shed", so to speak but I would think that Word 2013 would pacify the requirement of MS Word 2000 or newer...?
    Thanks.
    Message was edited by: Words2Technology

    The message is wrong in terms of the version specified. It is correct though that you do not have a supported version as Word 2013 is not supported.
    Subject to licencing, you can have both 2010 and 2013 installed, then run 2010 before doing anything where Rh needs to talk to Word.

  • Importing WORD doc into FM12

    When importing a WORD doc with multichapters into FM12,  do I need to seperate the WORD doc according to the chapters first then do the importing?

    I would say it depends:
    If your word document satisfies any or all of these conditions:
    1. It is short
    2. It utilizes few fonts
    3. It does not contain graphics with text flowing around them
    4. It has a few basic styles
    5. It is "clean": no spurious font usage, no "bleeding italic"
    then by all means, open it in FM
    Otherwise, you might want to follow the process below. In my case, I have a novel I wrote in Word. It's 147,000 words long, uses several fonts and images. I opened the file into FM and it was not able to process it appropriately. Luckily, no harm was done but I'd recommend you do backup your word file first.
    Here is what I did:
    1. I created an FM template from scratch.
    2. I used my template to import the first chapter only. In so doing, I refined the various tags ( I am assuming you are importing you word document as an unstructured framemaker doc) and created a few character tags such as "emphasis" for fragments which are emphasized and "thought" for fragments of text representing thoughts in characters' heads. These character tags are important for the editing process because by changing say the color or the size of the font for these characters tag, I can quickly highlight them and verify them. In the end, there was no portion of my text that did not have an explicitly assigned character tag, which is truly important for the quality of the text.
    3. I ran a find on "character override". Since my novel was being edited by two editors, there were quite a few overridden punctuation utilizing the wrong font, or face or size.
    4. I would then refresh the book to ensure the chapter numbering and page numbering was working correctly.
    5. Once I was satisfied with a chapter, I would import the tags back into the template and move on to the next.
    I am skipping the work I did on the preamble (first and second titles, copyright notice, acknowledgment, dedication, table of content, maps) and postamble (glossary and "about the author") but the process was the same.
    This process took me about two days to complete. In the end, I ended up with the following
    1. A robust template I can use for the successive books I am publishing
    2. A cleaner text, easier to typeset and check
    3. A greater understanding of the way FM works.
    Hope this helps

  • Importing word doc into InDesign

    I am trying to find the best way to get about 250 word pages into 250 InDesign pages.
    Currently I am assuming I have to copy/paste each page by hand. Is there a way to set page breaks in word and have them relate to pages in InDesign? I know that I can Find/Change attributes to batch/automatically apply styles to imported text. My major issue is that each InDesign page has a header, sub header, then 4 - 5 paragraphs with inline headers, so there is a lot of formatting.

    You have to put your custom frame on you master A page. Open your pages pallet. select the master page, create you custom frames on the master page. Select the first frame, click on the little blue box the bottom right the hover you curser over inside the  next frame and it will turn into a chain link icon. Click.
    This will link the two frames together over the left and right pages.
    Now double click on page one in your page pallet. You'll see the dotted frame which means that it on you master page. If you don't? then got to menu View>show frame edges.
    Next
    File> place select the word file
    your curser will load with the word file, hover your curser inside the dotted blue frame you just made on page 1 hold down your shift and click

  • Unable to copy material or import Word Doc into RoboHelp 9 (Suite 3)?

    I had this problem for awhile until I discovered that I was trying to import material from older word documents. Just opening the word doc in Office 10, saving it as a docx file before trying to copy and paste cleared this up. Pictures and text come across easily in RoboHelp 9 and Photoshop now.
    PDF files are hit and miss. I think it may be due to the same type of problem... earlier version creation on the part of the PDF. sometimes they import great, just like they look in PDF format, sometimes they don't are are a big mess. I have had to copy and paste sections, recreating the look of the original pdf in a RoboHelp page.
    Backwards compatability seems to be an issue that keeps cropping up in this suite... or am I doing something wrong, missed a simple control somewhere?

    I think you mean Office 2010. Office 10 is Office 2002,
    I'm not quite clear whether you mean import in the sense of File > Import or copy and paste as you refer to both. File > Import from older versions has not given me any problems. Cut and paste is not something I do much of but again it hasn't given me problems.
    Cut and paste doesn't require any instructions. Importing is covered on my site.

  • Importing Word docs into RH10 & auto split headers into topics

    Can RH10 import a Word document and auto split the headers into separate topics? In RH7, this capability was available, but I'm not seeing it in RH10.

  • Accidentally imported Word Doc into app

    How can I remove it!   It doesn't show up in the app on the iPad, just in iTunes.   How can it be removed?
    Please assist
    jk

    It doesn't show up in Adobe Reader because Reader only reads PDF files.
    Remove it in iTunes: Connect your iPad with your computer. When the computer finishes syncing, in iTunes, make sure you iPad is the selected device. (How to do this depends on the version of iTunes you're running.) From the Summary screen, click on Apps tab at the top. Scroll down so you see the File Sharing section of the Apps tab. Select Adobe Reader on the left. Select the file you want to remove. Press the Delete key. Confirm that you want to remove the selected document.

  • Error on Importing Word document into RH7

    I am attempting to import Word docs into RoboHelp7.  The first several documents are imported and saved into the project without incident. However, one file causes an error: "An error occurred while trying to save data to : <RH project name> <5>.  The same error occurs each time I attempt to import this particular file; the error message will not disappear when I click on OK and whole project has to be closed.  Thank you.

    Colum,
    Thank you for your prompt response.  I tried importing sections of the word document as you suggested, but I was not able to isolate the error. I confess that after repeated errors and shutdowns, I discontinued this troubleshooting, lest it cause any damage to the original project files.
    Instead, I opened a new project, and imported the Word doc into that project.   Then I imported these HTML files into my main project. It was not graceful, but the end result is good, with all the links and formatting preserved.
    As other Word docs have since been imported into this project without incident, perhaps it was a fluke/bug in this one document.
    I appreciate your help in resolving the situation.
    Thank you.

  • Problems importing Word Doc footnotes/endnotes into Dreamweaver CS4

    I am having a problem importing a Word doc with footnotes/endnotes into Dreamweaver. When I do the import (or a copy and paste) I get the references without the actual number for the endnotes in superscript!
    I currently have Dreamweaver CS4 (though have also experienced this issue with Dreamweaver 8)
    I am currently using Word 2007 (but experienced this same problem with earlier versions of Word).
    The document has a standard sort of endnote. In the middle of the text there is a number in superscript that refers to a note at the end. When I do an import I get the nice set of back and forth references with anchors and links but missing the number! Let me copy and paste an example:
    Here is the text I have:
    the largest multilateral recipient of UK aid,[i] with the UK
    [i] DFID (2010) DFID in 2009-10.
    Now here is the HTML I get when I import:
    the largest multilateral recipient of UK aid,<a href="#_edn1" name="_ednref1" title="" id="_ednref1"> </a> with the  UK
    And as an endnote:
    <div id="edn1">
        <p><a href="#_ednref1" name="_edn1" title="" id="_edn1"> </a> DFID (2010) <em>DFID in 2009-10</em>.</p>
      </div>
      <div id="edn2">
    What I really need is:
    the largest multilateral recipient of UK aid,<a href="#_edn1" name="_ednref1" title="" id="_ednref1"><sup>1</sup></a> with the  UK
    And as an endnote:
    <div id="edn1"><p><a href="#_ednref1" name="_edn1" title="" id="_edn1"><sup>1</sup></a> DFID (2010) <em>DFID in 2009-10</em>.</p>
      </div>  <div id="edn2">
    Does anyone know why these superscript numbers are missing? And how I can get Dreamweaver to put them in. I have long documents with 50 or more footnotes and would hate to have to redo this by hand!

    The problem is that some of the material in the endnote/footnote is explanatory in nature rather than just a reference or citation. So I need a way to include explanatory text and don't want to put multiple sentences in ( ) in the middle of the text.
    I would have to say clearly someone at Adobe did think conversion of endnotes/footnotes is a worthwhile endeavour, because Dreamweaver is designed to do it! You can see clearly from the code snippet that they programmed Dreamweaver to do an import with a very nice set of back and forth anchor references. Just somehow the actual reference numbers don't show up. In fact the HTML code for this provided by Dreamweaver is very clean and nice (contradicting bemdesign's assertion that you can not turn a word doc into a good HTML doc), with the exception of the missing number references!
    Is there a setting somewhere that I might need to play with to get this to work better?? Or something I need to do with the Word doc text before I do an import? Any other work around.

  • Stylesheets and applying to imported Word docs. (RHx5)

    I've been reading a comments about style sheets, importing Word docs and formatting issues (in regards to importing Word docs and pre-determined styles/bullets/numbering).  I also saw that someone was trying to create a css outside of RH and was having issues.  This leads me to a couple of questions.
    1.  When importing Word docs, does RH create a separate css for each doc, or is there an option to not have this occur when performing the import process?
    2.  If I am understanding css', you should only have one per project, if you want all of html pages to appear identical, correct?
    3.  What do you do if you've made the mistake of having several different css' out there, making everything appear funky?  Can you create a new project and import the documents without the css and apply a new css (created in the new project) to all of the html files?  Will this assist in correcting a lot of the spacing, bullet and numbering problems?
    4.  Can I view the default css and edit it?
    I think I have a big problem on my hands.  I was trying to make things easier for SMEs who were designated to write procedures in Word by creating the pre-defined formats.  After reading PG's pages, I sunk into my chair.  I was having the problems he mentioned.  I tried to edit some of the pages in the html editor and appear to have made them worse.  I was trying to simplify the code a little (with what knowledge I currently have with html, which is minimal).  I am fortunate that I only have about 200 documents that could be impacted.  Any comments/suggestions are greatly appreciated.

    1] When importing Word docs, does RH create a separate css for each doc, or is there an option to not have this occur when performing the import process?
    That's the way it is, no option.
    2.  If I am understanding css', you should only have one per project, if you want all of html pages to appear identical, correct?
    With the "if you want them identical" proviso, you would only have one CSS but you don't have to have them all identical. That is your call.
    3.  What do you do if you've made the mistake of having several different css' out there, making everything appear funky?  Can you create a new project and import the documents without the css and apply a new css (created in the new project) to all of the html files?  Will this assist in correcting a lot of the spacing, bullet and numbering problems?
    It's not a mistake but if you want to get out of that situation, you need to do some cleaning up. The first step will be to create a CSS that contains all your existing style names, note I say names. Each of your CSS files will have a variety of styles but let's make it easy for this explanation. One has H1, H2, P and P.Note (a class) while another has One has H1, H2, P and P.Warning (a class). Now let's say you have just two topics, one has CSS_1 and one has CSS_2. The H1, H2 and P styles may be the same or different but assuming they are different, you now want them to be the same so what you want is a CSS with H1, H2, P, P.Note and P.Warning. You could then apply that to both topics and all the content would be displayed as defined in CSS_3. Obviously the real task is bigger but the principals are the same.
    The way I would tackle it is to create a new CSS and copy in the styles from the biggest of your existing CSS files. Then I would look at the others and copy in any styles that are not already in. That gives you all the style names, albeit with the wrong appearance. Then you start working through the styles to get them right. It is not as bad as it sounds. I recommend using Top Style from http://www.bradsoft.com. There's a free version that only opens one CSS at a time but you can see what you are doing with it. The others can be open in Notepad.
    4.  Can I view the default css and edit it?
    Yes.
    I think I have a big problem on my hands.  I was trying to make things easier for SMEs who were designated to write procedures in Word by creating the pre-defined formats.  After reading PG's pages, I sunk into my chair.  I was having the problems he mentioned.  I tried to edit some of the pages in the html editor and appear to have made them worse.  I was trying to simplify the code a little (with what knowledge I currently have with html, which is minimal).  I am fortunate that I only have about 200 documents that could be impacted.  Any comments/suggestions are greatly appreciated.
    Next time you need input from the SMEs, output to one Word template from RH so that they all have the same appearance. Their job is provide content so the styles are irrelevant to them.
    Yes you've got some work but it isn't too massive. Hope this helps.

  • Imported Word 2010 into RH8 Question

    I just imported several Word 2010 docs into a new project.  There is a dotted box around the content (see image and ignore the blue outline):
    Does anyone know why the content is in this box as opposed to there not being a box at all?  Does it create any issues with the output of the content?

    RoboHelp always creates a new CSS that it attaches to topics created from an import. You can select all of them in the Topic List and then right click to select Topic Properties and change the CSS used. Post back if things don't look right.
