Hi! Is there a possibility to import a compiled helpfile? I've seen, that It's only possible to import HTML Help Projects (*.hhp). I need to import a compiled helpfile.

Thanks a lot.

You can do this by decompiling the .chm into a HTML Help project which you can then import into HelpStudio using the File\Import command. You can decompile a .chm most easily using the excellent FAR tool by Helpware - http://www.helpware.net. You can also decompile using the free Microsoft HTML Help Workshop File\Decompile command - http://www.innovasys.com/support/htmlhelpcompiler.asp - the only slight hiccup with the Microsoft HTML Help Workshop is that you need to then recreate the project file itself - it only extracts the topics, Table of Contents and Index. FAR rebuilds the project as well I believe.

Let me know if you need any more information on this.
