OK, now back in action for a few hours...
1. Do you need to set a "starting" Figure number as your original post suggests, or will that number always actually be 1? 2. If RoboHelp is just converting a number of separate articles (or whatever it calls them) into a single Word document, does that mean that you can end up with multiple "Figure 1" captions in the same document, e.g. blah blah (See Figure 1) Figure 1 Figure 2 blah blah (see Figure 2) blah blah new article(See Figure 1) Figure 1 and so on 3. If so, is there any obvious way to tell where a new article starts to avoid making the wrong references? (it seems likely that if the document is constructed from short articles you may get a number of "Figure 1" references and items in succession, but from different articles. Peter Jamieson "Peter Jamieson" wrote in message ... 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 Jamieson "Tom" wrote in message ups.com... 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? |
