RE: Converting Word Winhelp files to FrameMaker 5.5.6-Take 2

[Hedley_S_Finger@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx]

Dal:

First, you may need to unhook your file from the RoboHELP template and the
macros embedded in the Word/Robo document by selecting all and copying into
an empty non-Robo document.

Second, don't throw away those footnotes just yet.  They can help you
construct an index by copying the text from the K footnotes to index-entry
{XE ...}fields.  And you may need to keep the # footnotes to help replace
hyperlinks with cross-references.  If you choose View > Footnotes, you can
take the hidden-text link ID after the double-underlined text and search
for it in the # footnotes in the footnote window.  When found, clicking the
footnote scrolls the main window to the target topic.

I would test a few Help topics to see if the {XE} fields and cross-ref
fields translate correctly into FrameMaker.

Regards,
Hedley
