Jon, WebWorks does make a tool called the Import Utility that will import a .chm file and convert the content to FM. You then need to apply styles and break the content into chapters (it all goes into one FM file). I've used it on some RoboHelp projects, and it worked quite well. All graphics came in and links were good, but links had to be redone after setting up the individual chapter files.
Disclaimer: I'm a WWP reseller. There may be other decompilers, but I suspect they won't put the content directly into an FM doc. Please contact me offlist if you want more information. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Linda G.

Due to powers beyond my control, we no longer have the source files and I have been given the task to put the chm file back into FrameMaker. I've been through the WWP online help to no avail. Is there a way to go from a CHM file to FM? FM 7.2, WWP 9.0 Thanks.....................Jon _______________________________________________ You are currently subscribed to Framers as lindag at techcomplus.com.
