Subject: RE: [xsl] Re: Any Doc to XML converter ? From: "Pavek, Gary" <GPavek@xxxxxxxxxxxx> Date: Tue, 19 Jun 2001 14:42:43 -0500 |
When I tried running the compiled version on a .DOC file from one of my RoboHelp projects, it crashed without warning. Since I have Visual Basic 6 installed, I opened the Visual Basic project directly and ran it from there to see if I could find the problem. This time a Message Box appeared that told me RoboHelp couldn't find the project, and did I want to search for it? I recognized this as the standard message box that appears when you open a file that has the RoboHelp template applied, but isn't in the same folder as the project's .HPJ file. Once I saved the file with a non-RoboHelp template, the converter ran fine. However, there were still some combinations of settings and options where the converter would crash with certain files but not with others. Fortunately most of those are options I don't need to use--I was just experimenting with them. Obviously the converter they built for the article isn't ready for prime time, but I'm very happy that it will do enough of what I need to handle a one-time conversion project. I was going to have to write a converter myself, and I really didn't want to do that! --Gary Pavek ------------------------------- Gary Pavek Interfaces Documentation Team MetaSolv Software, Inc.
