Synchronizing linked Word documents with RoboHelp projects
After you import or link Word documents to your RoboHelp project, you generate Help topics based on the project
settings. When you import a Word document into a RoboHelp project, the topics are generated immediately and
appear in the Project Manager pod. However, when you link a Word document to a RoboHelp project, the topics are
not generated until you explicitly generate them. Because RoboHelp maintains a live link with the linked Word
document, you can update a linked Word document if the source document or conversion settings in the RoboHelp
project change. Icons of the project files in the Project Manager pod indicate whether the documents are in sync with
the RoboHelp topics.
Update the topics generated from linked Word documents in the following scenarios:
• Source Word documents changed after you added or linked them to the RoboHelp project.
• You changed the pagination settings in the RoboHelp project.
• You changed the styles in the RoboHelp project and want to revert them to as in the FrameMaker document.
• You updated the CSS in the RoboHelp project.
Uses the topic title text as the topic filename.
The name of the converted HTML topic contains the following:
•
The name of the Word source file without its extension
•
Hyphen as the separator
•
Paragraph text used to demarcate HTML topics
For example, a Word file named "Chapter.doc" with "1-Introduction" as paragraph text is converted
to an HTML topic named "Chapter-1-Introduction."
The name of the converted HTML topic contains the following:
