Multiple TOCs - How do I choose the one to use?

I'm probably just blind, but I did look in RH's help and I still couldn't find where it says how to set the default TOC if you have multiple TOCs. Can anyone provide some needed elucidation?

Thanks!

PS... Is it also possible to define signatures for our profies to put automatically into posts? If so I don't see where?  (sigh) It's one of those days when I feel like I need new eye glasses.

Hi Jared

When you create a RoboHelp HTML project from scratch it will have a single TOC and it will be labeled as the default. Of course you may now create more than a single TOC. If you have more than a single TOC, you expand the Table of Contents pseudo-folder in the Project Manager. Right-click the desired TOC and choose Set as Default.

Note that you may also configure a specific TOC to be used in the Single Source Layout properties.

There is no signature capability in the new forums. You have to add the code manually to each post if that's what you want.

Cheers... Rick

Hi Rick,

Thanks for the response. At least I know I'm not totally blind. I was indeed looking in the right place to set this before posting. But strangely, I don't have a Set as Default menu item when right-clickinng and viewing the popup menu.

Suggestions?

Hi Jared

So sorry. My bad. I failed to notice in your first post that you clearly stated you were using RoboHelp 7. I was just looking at my RoboHelp 7 and you are correct. That option isn't there in RoboHelp 7. What I shot back earlier was for RoboHelp 8. So it would appear that's one of the changes that were added to version 8.

The good news is that RoboHelp 7 *DOES* support the other method I mentioned. Choosing the TOC for the layout.

Cheers... Rick
