Re: FM to WinHelp

Christa,

If you're not constrained to work in RoboHelp, the route can be relatively
simple. Here's what I use to get Frame content into ForeHelp (which doesn't
demand using MS Weird as an intermediary). 

B Prep work (for anything larger than a simple procedure): 
set up a template project in ForeHelp and map styles from your Frame
template to WinHelp styles. 

Then, 
B Save Frame file as RTF.
C Open/import RTF file into ForeHelp project (and use default style/tag
mapping if you did A).

I've shared with other folks the long version of how to do this
expeditiously for transferring long docs into the starter for online help,
but I lost a hard disk with many of my archives recently. I'm still finding
pieces on backups, but could share the shape of the process if not details
if you want a longer answer.

Good luck!

Subject: FM to WinHelp

I have been asked to take some info from a FM file and convert it to WinHelp
for inclusion with an installation wizard. Does anyone know if this is
possible and what is the most efficient route to do this?
