Generating TOC in RoboHelp using the Heading styles

Do note, that when you import again using those same settings, the table of contents will be added again, so you'll need to clean up the toc.

However, given you'll be re-importing the document down the track, you should have a look at linking the word document instead.  This means when the word document is updated, you just select Update in Robohelp and the related topics and toc are refreshed from the Word document. Have a look at the help for more information about linking word documents.

It's Amber who found it. Nice one.

And it worked. Generated the TOC in Word with the Heading Level that was needed and while importing the document in RH2019, in the Content Setting window, checked the option Convert Table of Contents, Add to existing TOC. It was as simple as that, no idea why i missed it previously. Thank you Amebr/Peter.

Thank you Peter. I did try spilitting each Heading level into topics, worked well but it would take forever especially if i had to target Heading Level 3 too. 

It's getting late where Amber is so let's see if this helps.

Right click in the TOC pod and select Auto Create. Note the text in the dialog and as you will see it is limited to topics. TOC entries to heading levels has always required creating bookmarks and doing what you are doing.

I'm not aware of anyone having posted that requirement, much less a solution. Sorry it's not the answer you want.

No worries, it's easy to forget. 🙂

It's been a long time since I generated a toc from a Word import, but I feel like it was possible. I'll see if I can find a Word document to poke around the settings.

One other question, is this a once off import, or something that that you have to repeat on a semi-regular basis?

Which version of Robohelp? If RH2019, is it Classic or New UI. Please include this information every time you post, as many answers differ depending on the version.
