If a title is clicked in the TOC of the CHM, the content appears in a new CHM window... I would like to have just one single CHM file... how can I set it in RoboHelp? Thanks a lot in advance. Mimmok

Here is a screenshot of my problem:

Additional info: if I click a link in the TOC of the original window, the content changes in both window at the same time, however, if I click a link in the 'new' window, the original does not change...

Hi. Check that the name of the chms (both the main one and the one you're linking to) does not have an underscore, a blank or any other symbol in it. Then try to regenerate the CHMS and see if it works. (It worked for me.)

Thanks, but not that was the problem... :S

I have hundreds of files, but I have never experienced things like this... I'm sure there is a simple solution... but what?

Right click the link in the TOC editor and check the Properties. Look at the Advanced tab, my guess is that is set to New Window.

Thanks, but unfortunately it is set to Default... Something else? --

Not from me, I work mostly with WebHelp.

Haven't seen this reported before. Same if you look at the sample projects?

Click Open on the RoboHelp Starter page and then click Samples in the ribbon on the left.
