Glossary

Took about 45 mins to remove another less common glossary and still appeared to be doing far more searching that necessary. Seems to search repeatedly through the doc and also for each occurrence of the word, rather than just for glossary entries (which is applied only on the first occurrence in each topic). I'd have imagined it should look for only for glossary values ?
Several other bizarre things happening: a browse list created with an odd name by the system during a compilation; hitherto good links being broken and all with the word 'place' inserted somewhere in the relevant text ?

Well it ran through eventually - I estimate it took about 3 hours (other things to do on a Sunday afternoon, however wet !). I experimented with deleting a glossary item from one of the supplied projects - it went through quickly but then it's a much smaller project.
The PC (or rather laptop) is a pretty good spec with plenty of disc space, memory etc (Dell Inspiron 6400, about 6 months old)
We need smaller docs anyway, so just starting to split up a copy now and I'll experiment later on this afternoon to see if this has improved things.

Interesting because I've never seen that advice before and the old version of Robohelp seemed to handle this doc without incident. That said, splitting the doc is planned but I would expect it to handle more than 100 topics, which isn't that much for a help file. If there's a max size in terms of pages/topics shouldn't the software warn if it is exceeded or getting close ?
Regrettably it's not the only issue we've come across. The process is, by the way, still running - nearly 80 minutes on.
