Hi Bobbi,
I haven't imported into RoboHelp, but coming at it from the Word side:
If you have used styles rather than manual formatting, you could temporarily change the style to be visible before the import. Alternatively, make a copy of the files and do a Find and Replace, changing hidden to not hidden.
Just a thought.
Cheers
Kath

I wonder if anyone on the list might have a suggestion for a possible solution to an import issue.
We have Word 2007 files which are published with and without hidden text.
Our intent is to import the Word files with into RoboHelp 9.0 with the
hidden text displaying. Word is set to display hidden text, and all files are marked to display hidden text. When files are imported into the RoboHelp project, the hidden text does not display and we can't quite see where to tweak RH to get the hidden text to display.
Has anyone ever run into this issue?
Thank you.
Bobbi
