AirHelp formatting

I have a published WebHelp site being hosted on SharePoint on the company intranet.  The goal is to publish a stand-alone version of the same project as an AirHelp application that can be easily accessed by having it pinned to the Windows 7 taskbar.  However, when the AirHelp App was published all of the topics lost their indentation at the left, such that they appeared as though the text started at the boundary separating the TOC from the actual topics.  In other words, there was no space buffer between the boundary and the text.  I consulted the Help Desk but they informed me that this was the difference in generated output.  The alternative was to create a duplicate project and re-format it so that the left margin was indented and looked appropriate in AirHelp.  I did that and it looks fine, but this raises a dilemma.  The help system is evolving, and so this would add to the amount of work if I had two duplicate projects that had to be updated each time a topic was added, modified, or deleted.  Is there a way around this so that I can use one project?  I am using RoboHelp 10.

Thank You in advance for any feedback on this.

    There is no need to create a duplicate project. Create a copy of your CSS file and rename it. MyStylesheetAIR.css for example.

    In the body tag add a margin. In your AIR Help layout, select that CSS to override the usual topic css.
