Hi, Kathy.
Welcome to the wonderful world of non-compatibility,
brought to you by those ever-greedy folks at Blue-Sky
Software.
Now that my rant is out of the way, I believe I can help.
I worked around this problem by:
- Rename the Robo-6 template to "xxx_old.dot".
- Install Robo-7. (During the install, Robo will overwrite
the former template with the default "new" template ... both
of which have/had the same name. Hence the rename step
above.)
- Using Organizer, import the styles from the "xxx_old.dot"
template to "robohelp.dot"; save and exit the template.
- Open the project file; make sure the template is assigned,
and set the file to auto-update styles.
- Repeat for each file in the project.
This, though cumbersome, should work.
Regards,
Anne Halsey

this idiocy when you upgrade.)
