Adobe RoboHelp 8: Can Word Footers Be Used in a RoboHelp Project?

Question of the Week:

I'm
linking MS Word documents into a
RoboHelp project. On a smaller RoboHelp project, I copied and pasted
the footers into the body of the text because the footers were not
showing up in RoboHelp. The project I
have in front of me has way too many footers and will be updated too
often to
do that, but I haven't figured out how to do it automatically. Do you
know how?

Answer:

Yes,
you can import the footers from Word. If the document is going to
update frequently, you should
be linking the Word document into RoboHelp instead of importing the
text. After importing the document, and prior to generating the
topics, choose File > Project Settings. Click the Edit button to edit the conversion settings
for Word documents. From the Other Settings category, you'll find an option to
Convert Footer (and the Headers too).
