Importing word documents - but losing all images which was in it

Hi,
I am fairly new to Robohelp and recently got hold of Robohelp 8.
I have already written a Help File for my company's recent product, and the help file was in word 2007 with a lot of screenshots of icons, buttons and dialog boxes pasted in it.
On importing the word document to Robohelp, none of these images are being imported and I cannot see any of them in the project view.
I wanted to use the link to word document feature so that i do not have to keep re-importing the document for any changes made - however, because the images are not being imported, i now have to add them manually to the project.
1 - this is tiring and very time consuming
2 - the project files to which i add the pictures are no longer updated from the word document if any of the text changes as the project is preserving the changes i made to the file (which was only adding the image manually). Kind of defeat the purpose of link to the word document.
HELP
I would really appreciate any help in
1 - How to import a word document containing images (screenshots, icons etc) without losing the images
2 - Keep the word document to update the project even after i add any images to the project manually.
Thanks
Nivekz

Hi again
Thanks for the clarification.
Okay, so really what you are doing is identical to clicking File > Import > Word Document, because all you are doing by choosing PDF is pre-selecting PDF as the listed file types. Once you change it to point to Word documents it's no different.

  • Why can't I scan anything onto my MAC as a Word Document?  I'm sure i was able to do it before!

    I'm sure I was able to scan letters etc as a Word Document but now all I send me to able to scan them as are JPEG, PDF etc.
    Is there anything I can do to change this?
    Thanks

    I've not seen a scanning protocol that delivers a ready-to-use Word doc. Usually, you get the OCR scan in text format (.txt), copy it to the clipboard (command c), then open a new Word documat and paste the text into Word.
    Once you have it in Word you can do all the typical formatting that Word allows.
    NOTE: Text scanning is seldom error-free. Yo uwill need to carefully review the text file to look for errors, such as "1" scanning as "!"
    Check you scanner software. If the scanner is capable of OCR, that option will show in the scan menu.
    If you post the make and model of your scanner, that may help people give you a more definitive solution.

  • Importing Word Documents with Images

    Hi, When I import word document in to Robohelp, it imports
    the images also. Now, I have duplicate images in multiple topics.
    How do I avoid duplicate images being imported? Is there anyway,
    where I can collate and store all the images in a single folder,
    instead of saving it in multiple folders?

    You're right. One reason this plan never came to fruition is
    because this doesn't take a lot of time.
    When I first came aboard, I envisioned a lot of importing of
    Word documents where each change was done to a Word doc (complete
    with macros and useful AutoText) and then imported into RoboHelp.
    Then, a global search would take care of the image problem. But
    that isn't really our MO, so this never happened.
    Although, it's a great way to create a new project. Author
    your Word documents with meaningful characters to represent each
    icon. Then when you import everything, just include the graphic
    once and then do a global search.

  • Help with image file names when using Import Word document feature

    Hello,
    I am using File >> Import >> Word document into an HTML template.  If the Word document contains images, the images are written to the directory specified in my Site Default Image Folder.  Here is my question: As I was teaching myself the Import function, one time the images were automatically named to match the page name.  So for example, if my page is named Create.html, the images would be named Create_image001.jpg, Create_image002.jpg, etc.  I can't remember how I enabled this feature (or maybe I was dreaming) but if anyone knows how to control the name of the images imported from MS Word, please let me know.  I've searched and Googled for hours and can't find a way to control the image file names.
    Thanks in advance,
    Shellie

    I was hoping that this would be fixed in the 10.8.2 upgrade but it has not.  Anyone have any luck?  Earlier today I was trying to write a paper and navigating between 10 pdfs was a nightmare without being able to hover my mouse for the titles like I used to. 

  • Import word documents

    Getting error could not load add on program when trying to
    import word document.

    Hi all
    Author care, I would tend to disagree with this. Sure its an
    option. But one fraught with coming to terms with Frame.
    Julie, I might suggest that you investigate the workflow a
    bit deeper. For starters, what RoboFlavor are you using? RoboHelp
    for Word or RoboHelp HTML?
    I suppose either way, you need to more deeply examine how the
    conversion occurs. There aren't all that many folks that use
    RoboHelp for Word any more. Most are using RoboHelp HTML. In
    RoboHelp HTML, there is a template used to map Word Styles to
    RoboHelp styles. If you were to get your styling mapped accurately,
    there shouldn't be all that much work to making changes to the
    underlying Word documents. Of course, if the source Word documents
    change, you currently have to delete the HTML topics and re-import.
    Either that or totally abandon bringing the content in from Word
    and just edit the resulting HTML pages that were created.
    As for merging, I think we need more information as well as
    knowing which RoboFlavor you are using. I know you said you *have*
    RoboHelp for Word, but you didn't actually state you were using it.
    So I'm left wondering as I'm sure others are.
    Cheers... Rick

  • File names after importing word document

    I'm creating webhelp by importing word document. My help is in two languages and yes i have two word documents. To keep the html filenames same for every same topic in english and arabic. I change the file names. Now i want save this setting for the project so while importing the documents again I should be able to reuse this changing filenames. So that it can be life saver for me by not repeating to change the filenames again.

    Thinking about this some more, I don't think the feature will do what you want. The filename and any formula will work according to how you paginate and will create a filename based on the heading. That will, I assume, differ from language to language.
    The only thing I can think of experimenting with is to have the headings in language one in all documents with the other language being below but not as a heading. Post import you could amend the Topic Title and Topic Heading but leave the filename. It's klunky but the best I can think of right now.

  • Importing Word Documents to RoboHelp 7 HTML

    Hi,
    We are using RoboHelp 7 HTML for our project requirements.
    The approach we adopted is as follows -
    1.) Develop content in MS Word 2003 with proper formatting
    including the styles defined for tables, fonts, paragraphs, various
    levels of headings etc. We will have high number of word documents
    which need to be reviewed by the SMEs before putting them in
    RoboHelp.
    2.) Copy the content to RoboHelp. We are using the File >
    Import > Word Document. We find the following issues in the word
    documents thus imported -
    a.) Formatting errors like the font of the numbered list is
    not consistent. The numbers have a different font while the ontent
    has a different font.
    b.) The content in Tables is also not properly indented. It
    touches the borders.
    c.) Foreign characters are being introduced wherever
    double-quotes are used. Eg: ”r;Other” (it should have
    been "Other")
    How do we address the above-listed issues? How do we get the
    same output in RoboHelp as can be seen in the formatted word
    document? Do you suggest any better alternative?
    Thanks & Regards,
    Anil

    1] Yes. Non-RH users develop the content.
    2a & 2b] What I have noticed is that the numbers appear
    in Times New Roman while the content appears in Arial after
    importing. As mentioned, we have lot of documentation (many word
    documents). So each word doc I import, a CSS gets generated and
    editing them itself is a herculean task. Is there any work around
    this so that we can gain time and carry out the import smoothly?
    2c] Could not find the patch in your website. One of your
    posts says that it is Item 21. But cannot find any downloadable
    link.
    As suggested I tried reading the article in Printed
    Documentation. But really didn't know which one you were referring
    to.

    Anil

  • Printer won't print B/W Word document, but prints B/W from internet

    Hi! So,, I know that all 3 of my color cartridges are almost empty, but the black one is more than 3/4 full. Yesterday, I was able to print just fine. Today, I tried to print a Word document that has a small color logo with the rest of the text in black. Only the color logo printed, the black text did not. I then tried to print just a B/W Word document,  but that didn't print at all  I also tried printing a document with text in color and text in B/W....the color text printed, B/W did not. I've taken all the cartridges out and I shook all of them, this also didn't help. I did a printer head cleaning and that didn't help. I just tried to print a document from the internet, with both color and B/W and that document printed fine (although the black text looks more gray). I also changed the text color on the original document from black to blue and it printed just fine. Any suggestions on what the cause of this would be? I would understand if the color wasn't printing because those are almost empty, but the black one is almost totally full so there shouldn't be an issue with that. Thanks in advance for any help/suggestions that anyone can give me.  

    Hello Dwan2,
    Welcome to the HP Forums.
    I see that you are attempting to print just in black ink.
    Here is a screen shot that I think will help you with this issue.
    Please feel free to write me back if you have any other questions or concerns.

  • Headings are getting bookmarked while importing word document to Robohelp 9

    HI everyone. Easter wishes in advance.
    I have a problem while importing word document to Robohelp.
    Version - MS Word 2010
    Robohelp 9
    While I import word document to Robohelp after mapping styles, my heading styles are getting tagged as bookmarks in RH.
    I have customized word template along with customized RH css.
    How can I prevent the headings (all the heading level used in a document) getting tagged as bookmark after I import word docs to RH.
    If there is no solution is there any solution to remove bookmarks at one go from RH.
    Help would be greatly appreciated.
    Thanks

    The quickest way to resolve this is to create a new project and import a document that causes this problem. Zip up the project and document and send it to me via my site so that I can take a look.
    You can strip out any confidential content and it only needs to be a document short enough to show the problem.

  • Dreamweaver CS6 importing word document

    Running dreamweaver cs6 on OS x 10.8.1
    One of the new options in dreamweaver cs6 is importing word documents. (file, import, word document). In OS x I can't find this option. Other option is to drag the word document in dreamweaver page.
    Both I can't find/ not working.
    Dreamweaver working under operating system windows 7 can operate quite well!!
    Please help me out

    That doesn't matter at all. Of course it will have to be reformatted. The reality is web developers who move content will be asked to incorporate Office material in web pages. It would be nice to be able to handle this input internally rather than having to invoke Office apps to manually move it. It's especially irksome when you have to do it 20 times a day.
    BTW, I found out this is only a case on a Mac. Windows Dreamweaver CC has it.

  • Error when importing Word documents

    Hallo
    I'm using RoboHelp 8 from the Technical Communication Suite.
    When I try to import a doc/docx file for my HTML help I get the message: 'The Import Word Document Wizard cannot locate a supported version of Microsoft Word. Please install Microsoft Word 2000 or newer.'
    Actually I have Microsoft Word 2010 installed in its default path.
    Do I have to set some particular options? Some days ago I had my PC replaced with a new one and I had to reinstall all of my programs. I think I've missed some settings.
    Thank you

    Strange
    I was working with Office 2010 and RH8 almost without problems with my old PC. Maybe the colleagues from our EDP department have installed a different version of MS Word (a newer service pack?).
    I'll try to modify the registry as suggested in http://forums.adobe.com/message/2991411
    thank you

  • The Import Word Document Wizard cannot locate a supported version of Microsoft Word

    Hello guys,
    I'm currently evaluating RoboHelp HTML 8.0.2.208. I'd like to import an existing Word document to a fresh new RoboHelp project. Unfortunately, everytime I've got the message below:
    "The Import Word Document Wizard cannot locate a supported version of Microsoft Word"
    "Please install Microsoft Word 2000 or newer."
    I tried with several Word 2003 and Word 2010 documents but with no success.
    Could someone help me?
    Thans by advance

    Hi there
    I think it would probably be safe to assume that the next version will support Office 2010. I think logic alone can tell us that much.
    The larger question would be to ask when that next version is likely to appear. And my own purely unscientific speculation will be to hold the envelope to my head like the great Johnny Carson did. I proclaim we will see a new version appear some time in 2011. As to whether that will be early or late 2011, only Adobe can actually say for certain. Or even if a version will appear during that year!
    Cheers... Rick

  • I accidently click on ''Import the list'' but now all the music have  an exclamation point I think they are all in Musique.txt on the desk... How can i take back these music on my library? I tried : Import the list and take Music.txt , but it do not work

    I accidently click on ''Import the list'' but now all the music have  an exclamation point I think they are all in Musique.txt on the desk... How can i take back these music on my library? I tried : Import the list and take Music.txt , but it do not work

    Ok, I had a glitch, forced to restart, and lost my train of thought.
    Reinstalling iTunes should fix the major issue that might have gone wrong, perhaps your explaination points will disappear and everything will be peachy again.
    But if they don't, you can open the XML file in iTunes Folder using a Text edit program to see what the common pathname is to the iTunes Music folder or where your content is located.
    If you moved the itunes folder, it needs to go back.
    I can't  download iTunes to my Vista virtual machine to test it out right now because iTunes is down, so I can't verify the pathname, perhaps your issue and the iTunes being down are related somehow?
    You don't want to import all your music again, but it's a option, but you lose all your playlists, that's what I'm trying to recover.
    If oyu don't have a whole lot of playlists, then simply select all the explaimation point music and delete, select File from the menu and import your itunes folder again.

    I'm afraid that your choice if names is the problem. Try "RoomSched2X", or similar, and let us know how it goes. If that works you can try some other names of your own choosing.
