Importing From an External File

When you're importing from external files (not from an Author-it library), the Author-it Importer makes it easy to import one or many files at a time, in these formats:

  • Microsoft Word documents
  • HTML pages
  • HTML Help 1.x projects (.hhp)
  • WinHelp RTF source files
  • WinHelp projects (.hpj)
  • FrameMaker™ (MIF) documents
  • Rich Text Format (RTF) documents
  • RoboHelp™ (XPJ) documents

The following topics discuss in detail how to use the Importer to import external files. Using the Importer is the same for all file types, although the profile that is used is different.

You can also read about how to import from another Author-it library.
