You can import Microsoft Word documents into your projects. Keep the following points in mind when doing this:
Your system needs to be equipped with both Microsoft Word and RoboHELP.
To import the document, your version of Microsoft Word needs to be equipped with Microsoft's Web authoring tools. Word 95, 97 and 2000 have Web authoring tools. If you need to obtain these tools for your system, visit Microsoft's Web site at http://www.microsoft.com.
If you are using Microsoft Word 2000, and do not already have it, we recommend downloading the HTML Filter for Word 2000. It provides you with a new File menu option named "Export to HTML." This option enables you to create .HTM files from Word that are compatible with a range of browsers. The filter is free and can be downloaded from http://officeupdate.microsoft.com.
When you import the document, the file is opened in Word and its Web tools are used to save the document as an HTML file. The .HTM file is imported into your project. Word is closed as soon as the file is imported.
For each Word file that you import, you'll have one equivalent HTML file. If your document is lengthy, consider breaking it up into smaller files. You can import multiple documents at the same time.
If you want to import a Word document that is part of a WinHelp project (for example, a document from a RoboHELP project), you can transfer the .HPJ file or .HLP file into HTML Help. By doing this, you'll have the individual HTML topics that match the WinHelp topics, plus your table of contents (.CNT), index, images, and navigation such as related topics and links.
Open your project.
Click the Project tab.
From the File menu, select Import - Word document.
In Look in, navigate to the drive and folder that contains the Word document that you want to import.
Select the file, and then click Open. The document is converted into an HTML file and opens in the WYSIWYG Editor so you can start working with it.
Note: Depending on your version of Word and the options that you have set in that application, you may be advised about using caution due to viruses. Click Yes to import the Word file or No to cancel the operation. If you have concerns about viruses in your Word documents, contact the Microsoft Corporation for further information.
