broken TOC link

I had a RoboHelp HTML project that was looking great. However, I must have accidentally deleted a graphic and a Heading 1 in the section topic. Although the Heading 1 name is still in the TOC, the link to the heading is broken.

Also I still have the graphic that was accidentally deleted, but I am unable to add it to the topic.

Please help

Could you just re-add the bookmark in RH to the existing topic?

Also, as a last resort you could always open the image, copy it and then paste it into the topic.  (If you aren't able to insert it.)

While true, that it's possible to copy and paste, it's a horrible, Horrible, HORRIBLE way to work that I never recommend.

In life we are always making sacrifices. Want more money? Sacrifice time doing leisure things. Want more time? Sacrifice making money. The list goes on and on and on.

When you copy and paste an image, you totally sacrifice any ability to choose the image format. RoboHelp will make that choice for you. RoboHelp will also choose the name of the image. And that name will in no way reflect what the image is about. True, you will be able to rename it in RoboHelp, but I'd always prefer doing all that in my image capture and editing applications.

For the linking to the TOC, just drag the topic from the topic list over to your TOC. Verify that link works and then just delete the TOC topic that doesn't link.

Thank you for your suggestion. I will try this but I am afraid. The topic is 50 FrameMaker pages in length and the broken TOC is to a bookmark. If the topics were smaller in scale, this may be a great way to fix my issue. But I am afraid of using this technique with a bookmark. But I will back up what I have and try it in a way so i can go back to the original version if it doesn't work.

Hi there

For the image, perform the steps you would normally perform to add an image. In the ensuing dialog, click the File Browsing link (shown below) and navigate to the project folder and you should see the image there.

Cheers... Rick
