Can I turn off the TOC ?

I am using RH 8, Windows 7 and generating WebHelp

I have a merged project. I have 4 child rpojects and 1 parent. Can I turn off the TOC on the parent and only see it on the child projects?

I have already unchecked all of the options in all of the windows when I generate and that didn't help.

thanks.

Pat

Hi all

Call me silly here, but why isn't this as simple as creating a single HTML page with links that point to the projects? If you want to use RoboHelp to create the page, go for it. Just turn off the "Show navigation pane link in topics" and generate. Then pluck out the single page and use it. Otherwise, just create a page in Dreamweaver or Notepad or any other editor to link to the projects.

Cheers... Rick

Egh?

You want all the child TOCs to show in the merge but not the parent TOC? Yes it can be done but I am not sure I understand what you want and would like to clarify that first.

What we want is for the first page of the help to display without a TOC. This would be my parent project and only contains links to the child projects. All of the child projects display in separate windows with their own toc, which is fine. We just don't want it on the first page.

I hope that makes sense.

Yes, we do want to have the first topic with no index, toc, or search.

How can we do that.

Pat


Like I said

You could have one project with the one topic with the links and set that up not to have a TOC, index or search.

Turn off those options when you generate.

I'm not sure you are clear that this is not merged help though but I've done my best to explain. Happy to try again if you are not following me.
