FrameMaker to RoboHelp XREF in WebHelp TOC output

[Matt Sullivan]

Hi Steve,

To follow on Jeff's excellent suggestion, right-click on the imported FM book in RH and choose "Properties".

From there, you can select the option to convert the FM toc. After specifying a toc name, you can set your webhelp ssl to use the FM toc.
