Question

After Generating a WinHelp File (*.chm) in RH 10 My Index and Search Index functions are disabled

Hi Folks,

I am importing a Technical Document written in MS Word 07 into RoboHelp 10 and appear to be missing a step. After I generate the WinHelp FIle everything looks great however the Index Links and the Search Feature in the *.CHM file point only to the main page. The Toc Links work just fine. I have generated an index using the "Smart Index" wizard and It shows the Links pointing to the Project Home page. When I try to click on one of the generated index links they all point to the "home" page. The Search feature does not work at all.

I am new to RH 10 and I know I am missing something. Can someone show me what that may be?

Thanks in Advance and Happy Thanksgiving and Holidays.

Hi William

First, a bit of clarification. WinHelp files have a .HLP file extension. If your file extension is .CHM, it is a Microsoft HTML Help file.

When you look at the project in RoboHelp, how many topics do you have? An easy way to discover that is by clicking Tools > Reports > Project Status.

From what has been described, I'm going to guess you will see one very large topic.

Cheers... Rick
