If you're doing an import, it's a one-way/one-time thing with the info in FM being sucked into RH. If you want to be able to edit the contents in FM and have them flow through to RH, you need to use the linking function, not importing.
To eliminate your custom CSS as the culprit, try importing the FM files into a fresh RH book with the default CSS used - does it split up Heading 3 at that point? If so, then you know that your custom CSS is missing something. I've never heard anyone mention seeing any of their style definitions in their CSS shown in the FM to RH conversion settings. Why would you expect to see them? If the styles aren't in use in your FM docs, then they won't show up in the resulting RH project. A CSS is really a set of formatting instructions for the output - you could define all sorts of styles in your CSS, but if they are never encountered, the CSS sections describing them won't be used. ________________________________ From: framers-bounces at lists.frameusers.com [mailto:framers-boun...@lists.frameusers.com] On Behalf Of Jay Mahler Sent: Tuesday, February 22, 2011 2:46 PM To: framers at lists.frameusers.com Subject: More Frustrations with Robo8-FM9 in TCS2 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?
