Replacing topics in CHM with older version of topic

Post by rmdavidson »

Is there any way to replace topics in a CHM file with older versions? With the WebHelp we can just click and drag from an older copy of course, but how do we do this with a CHM? Someone mentioned using an HHP file to change it in HTML Help Workshop, but I can't find an HHP file. Ideas?

A CHM file is a compiled file, so you'd need to replace the whole file if you needed to change it.

If you don't have the original project files (e.g. from Flare, RoboHelp), it is possible to decompile (and compile) using HTML Help Workshop.
