We are two writers who use Robohelp 9 and Word 2007 to produce online and printable documentation, using a printed documentation SSL in Robohelp, with a Word template. We want that template to carry our own macros that we use afterward on the converted document to, for example, clean up the converted tables. In Word 2007, a macro-enabled template is .dotm. When I open the Robohelp SSL dialog, and get to the fourth page, called Print Documentation Appearance, where you browse for and select a Word template, the only extensions shown/allowed are .dot, .dotx, and .zpl. No .dotm. Maybe this is because Robohelp doesn't want user macros interfering with the Robohelp conversion macros and breaking things? In any case, it appears that we are not able to associate a template that has macros with the SSL and have the template stored and updated in our version control with the rest of the project paraphernalia. Yes, we can send the macros to each other outside of Robohelp and outside of our version control system, but it would be nice to be able do it all through version control, like everything else in the project. Any helpful suggestions?
