Using the Author-it Importer

Sometimes you need to bring an existing document into Author-it. Rather than retyping it, Author-it's Importer makes the process easy. The Importer uses a set of customizable rules to transform your document into Author-it objects – meaning you can easily reproduce the content, structure and format of your document. You can import from:

• 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

You can also import content from another Author-it Library file.

This Chapter tells you how to import information from these sources.
