More Frustrations with Robo8-FM9 in TCS2

[Jay Mahler]

Well, after several long conversations with Adobe technical support, I got RoboHelp to import FM books and files. It turns out that my registry was pretty messed. Ah, the plight of the technical writer with alpha-level software and innumerable geeky software products. I ended up reinstalling Win7 Pro, and after two days of installing required software, I was back in business.

Now, I'm still having strange Robo-FM linking (actually importing) problems. I am importing books into Robo because I want to be able to edit in either Robo or FM and have the edits reflected in the other source. I have a couple of issues:

*         I'm setting the "Pagination" option for Heading1, Heading2, and Heading3 in the Conversion Settings dialog box. After import, Heading1 and Heading2 sections are in separate topics, but Heading3s and their text are within the Heading2 topic. Any suggestions on how to make this work correctly? I'd rather not go through and manually copy these sections to new topics. I doubt the automatic updating across products will survive that.

*         I'm using a custom CSS, and it is specified in the Import drop-down of the Project Settings dialog box. When I try mapping from FM styles to RoboHelp Style in the Conversion Settings dialog box, the RoboHelp Style drop-down doesn't include additional styles defined in my custom CSS. Any ideas?

Thanks in advance,
