How to find an older project

Unread post by tekwrite »

I have an older project from three years ago and not sure how to browse for it and what file name to look for. Downloaded version 8.

Can't you just search for a hmxp/hmxz file?

Hi Ken,

If the projects were created with Help+Manual 5 or later the projects can have two possible formats: A single file with the extension .hmxz that contains the entire project, or a folder of files containing a main project file with the extension .hmxp, an .xsl file, an .xsd file, and the sub-folders \Topics (the topic files), \Maps (the table of contents files), \Baggage (additional files added by the user) and sometimes also \History. To open these projects in Help+Manual 8 you simply open the .hmxp or .hmxz file.

If your projects were created with Help+Manual 4 or earlier they will have different formats. You can learn how to access and convert these projects in version 8 here:
