Tom,

What I'd /probably do in this scenario is try to expand on Greg's macro and
look separately for references (e.g. "See Figure nnn") and the figure
identifiers themselves, then mark them in some way that would enable me to
match them up. Greg may have some further ideas but I'll have to think about
how I'd approach this and time marches on on this side of the pond...

Apart from that, I suppose I might want to take another look at RoboHelp
just to be sure that I hadn't missed some referencing feature that would
help me maintain references when I output to Word. But since I don't have
that software, I couldn't really say what I'd be looking for...

Peter,

Thanks for the explanations about the differences between DocVariables
and DocProperties. That does make it a little clearer. You asked,

However, how to maintain these references depends on what you're
doing - you mention "your HTML document". Are you starting with that and
trying to create a Word document from it, or what?

To view an HTML document similar to the ones I create, open up Internet
Explorer 6.0 and go to Help Contents and Index. What loads is an Web
Help application of some kind. RoboHelp essentially creates the same
online help tool.

RoboHelp also exports all of these topics to Microsoft Word. Where
RoboHelp falls short is in converting links to cross references. It
just doesn't seem to do it, and I'm not sure of any workaround. That's
why I was thinking that maybe if I stored some kind of variable in the
HTML, I could convert it into a unique cross reference in Word. But
that doesn't really seem probable, right?
