Hi Tara,

The point of Help-to-Source is to strip out the
help coding so that you have a clean, printable
doc file. If I understand your question correctly,
the answer is no, there is not fast, automatic way
to recreate the help from the stripped own rtf or
doc file. You need the original hlp file. If you
want to work with the rtf file, you should
decompile the hlp (not use the help-to-source
option). This will give you the rtf file with the
help coding in place, as well as the project, cnt,
index, etc. files that you need.

HTH,

Paula
