A portion of the old topic's title appearing under the search list

Hi,

Would someone be able to help me resolve this issue?

In Adobe RoboHelp Classic 2019, v14.0.11.0, though I removed an existing topic and added a new one in its place, after CHM generation, I could still see a portion of the old topic's title appearing under the search list. However, the topic title name changed in the navigation pane or the CHM TOC structure.

I have rearranged the browsing sequence to suit the newly added topic.

Thanks,

Anand

In the first screenshot you are looking at the Search tab and in the second at the TOC.

I suspect the issue is something to do with the difference between the Topic Heading and Topic Title.

Right click the topic and select Properties. Is the Topic Title correct?

If that is not the problem, open the TOC in RoboHelp and right click the entry there. Is that correct?

Thank you, @Peter Grainge, for your support. There was a difference between the Topic Heading and the Topic Title. Both were different and after fixing them, the problem was fixed.

It's one of the old catches. When you create a topic, you enter the title and the filename follows that, as does the heading. People then assume the title and the heading are one and the same thing. However, the heading, like the filename is only the default. Both can be changed.

Glad the issue is resolved.
