How do I see the TOC when I "View Item"

Hello,

I know this is simple, but I am a total Robo newb.

I have created the TOC and pages and then linked those pages to the TOC.

When I click "View Item", all I see is the page without any TOC.

What preview option should I use that will show me the TOC along with the pages that are linked to it?

Thanks!

Jeff

Ok, I got it...

"WebHelp Pro >> View With"

Hi there

First off, the preview will only show you a preview of an individual topic. If you wish to see it within the context of the system as a whole, you will need to generate in order to see it.

Secondly, I noticed you said you chose WebHelp Pro. Are you publishing to RoboHelp Server? If not, you need to forget about WebHelp Pro as that output is intended for use with RoboHelp Server.

Cheers... Rick

Hi Rick,

I don't know what we are publishing to yet.  I think we are going to design our FAQ with Robo and then place that HTML on one of our web pages.  Is that possible and which view option is best for this purpose?

Frankly, I prefer the look of the WebHelp view because the Multiscreen HTML 5 view has strange colors.  I don't see any color or skin options for Multiscreen.  How can I change colors in Multiscreen HTML 5?

I have a few test projects open for testing purposes.  For one project, under "Single Source Layouts", when I right click Multiscreen HTML 5, it shows a "View with Browser" option, but when I do the same thing on another project, I do NOT see "View with Browser" option under Multiscreen HTML 5.   Why is this happening?

Lastly, when I view view the project the first book is always open by default.  How can I make all books closed by default when viewing?

Thanks!  I appreciate you!
