Create RoboHelp styles from inline formatting
Even though it's best to avoid inline formatting in your Word documents, and apply defined paragraph and character
styles, you can link and import Word documents to RoboHelp. You can also create RoboHelp styles from inline
formatting in your Word documents. Such styles are added to the project CSS.

Set pagination for online Help topics
When you import a Word document, you define how the contents of the Word file appear as topics in RoboHelp. For
example, suppose your Word file contains ten topics. If each topic contains subtopics, definition lists, tasks, and tables,
you can have each topic appear as a separate HTML file. If each of these topic headings is in Heading 1 style, you can
have each Heading 1 topic created as a separate HTML topic. If, however, you set the pagination at Heading 2, separate
HTML files are created for each Heading 2 topic.
You can select multiple paragraph styles for pagination. For example, selecting Heading 1 and Heading 2 for
pagination, causes RoboHelp to start a new topic at every instance of Heading 1 as well as Heading 2.
Note: Pagination is based on the Word paragraph styles and not on RoboHelp styles.
