Issue with rename .CHM file

I'm using RobHelp 7.0. I'd like the .CHM output by RoboHelp HTML to have a different name. How can this be done? I know that .CHM filename is based on the the project filename. (.XPJ)

What I've done:

1. Open the Project

2. Select File > Rename Project

3. Project Name, I typed in the new project name

Then I did:

1. Select the Single Source Layouts Pod

2. Right-click the Microsoft HTML Help. Select Properties

3. Select Output Folder and Filename, I typed the new name for the .chm file)

When I compiled the file, I still see the old .chm filename. I checked the !SSL! folder and the new file name is there. What did I do wrong?

Hi everyone,

I know this is an old post, but I have had the same problem recently with RoboHelp HTML 10 (the title displayed after compiling the CHM was "HTML Help" instead of the one in the project settings, window settings and single source layout settings) and the only thing that helped was to change the system locale to the language of my project (in my case, German). After restarting my PC, I recompiled the CHM and the title was correctly displayed.

I'm still getting the same result.

The old title name still shows up in the Title Bar of the CHM.

Even though I made the change in the File > Project Settings

Hi again

What about Window properties?

Click View > Pods > Project set-up

Expand the Windows folder

Double-click the Window and edit the Window Caption

Cheers... Rick

I have the same problem with Window titile - I have set project name and Window Caption, but when I open Help (Microsoft HTML) it just says "HTML help". It is an old project and the caption was ok until I converted the project, earlier I used RoboHelp for Word (and Robohelp X5). I've done the same for 3 other projects but the Window captions for those are ok.

Hi there

Sounds like you are making the right changes. Where exactly (or what exactly) are you seeing that leads you to believe the name isn't changing? Can you please post screen captures or a Jing movie of what you are seeing? Perhaps if we can see what you are seeing we can tell you where things are breaking down.
