Basically there are two ways to do it:
1. Using “Convert to H3 project” tool.
2. Using “File->Import files…” command.
Convert to H3 project
This tool is under "Helpinator” start menu group. When you run it dialog like this appears:
Source type – select type of the source files here. You can import:
1. Old Helpinator project
2. Compiled CHM file (if you don’t have the source for it).
3. HTML Help compiler project – if you were authoring CHM files using standard Microsoft tool – Help Workshop
4. RTF/HTML/TXT/DOC files – import variety of text file formats, from selected folder. To Import DOC files you need to have Microsoft Word installed.
Source – path to the source files or directory with source files (in case of source type #4).
Destination type – select type of Helpinator project to create. Single-file project stores all data inside one zip-compatible project file. “Multiple files” mode is better if you use come kind of VCS system in your project.
Destination – path to destination project. A filename or a directory path, in case of destination type #2.
Language – select default language for the project with imported data.
Click “Run” to start conversion. After it’s done you’ll be able to open destination project in Helpinator.
File->Import Files
This command acts identically to the “ RTF/HTML/TXT/DOC ” option from above, but is more useful to import files into existing projects. Select path to the directory with files to import and click “OK”.
