Changes to topics don't show up in chm & topics are duplicated

I imported a RoboHelp 5 project into RoboHelp 7. When I edit a topic, save, and generate the primary layout (chm) the changes do not show up in the chm unless I access the topic through the TOC. Also, duplicates of every topic show up in the .chm when I search on a topic title: one with old out of date stuff that I don't know where it's coming from and one that gets a "The page cannot be displayed" message.

I am soooo confused.

Hi, Hammer Chick,

Here are two recent threads where other users have reported similar problems:

"Multiple/broken/repeated listings in Search results"
"Double-entry Search results!"

So the proposed solutions are:

1) Make a backup of your project, and then rename the .cpd file and reenter your project.

2) Try creating a new single source layout.

3) Check the hyperlinks in your topics for any that inadvertently point to target topics that are above the root folder of the help project.
