Missing Linked Source File Webhelp compile error

[Michael Cohen]

Another newbie question:

I imported a RoboHelp project successfully. We've been using Adobe's Technical Communication Suite and that software creates all kinds of incomprehensible styles, classes, etc, so the imported stylesheet in Flare has WAY too many styles and classes for me to ever want to deal with. My solution: create a new style sheet in Flare and then import a subset of styles from the original imported stylesheet, and then modify the stylesheet from there. This I did, then deleted the old imported stylesheet from the project and saved all.

When I compile WebHelp, I get this error:

Missing linked source file: [path to my master page file]. In the File column of the compiler log report, it lists the path to my newly created stylesheet. This doesn't seem to make sense because I dutifully added that new stylesheet to the project properties and the new stylesheet correctly appears in the Content Explorer.

What am I missing here? Is there an interim step that applies my new stylesheet in a way that I have not yet done? By the way, the generated WebHelp looks and works fine. I can't find any reference to this error in the help.

Never mind, I figured it out.

Michael,

What did you find? Mine isn't the stylesheet, but it is in regard to a few of my Related Topics and other places. Two of the files it says it can't bookmark to that type of file (an htm topic file), and that it isn't an XML file...yet when I view the output the link works. I haven't even touched some of these files so if they are missing it isn't me, but I know most of them are in fact there. Not to mention it generated so many missing header files errors that it just stopped.
