I followed the instructions implicitly from moving from 5.3.2 to 5.4.1. Everything went well until I went to RW6 and launched it.

Guess what, all that was there was my pages on the menu side but no content. How do I get it all back. I really don’t want to have to re-create all my pages from scratch because it’s going to be a major undertaking.

HELP!!!

@peacock

Do you have an old “new” RW 6 file?  
If you have tried to convert RW 5 to RW 6 without first saved with RW 5.4.1, you have an old new file on your harddisk.  
Delete the old RW 6 file and re-convert/re-import the RW 5.4.1 file in RW 6.
