Navigation pane disappears when the focus is changed

I using Robohelp 7.01.001 and am generating a Microsoft HTML Help (Primary Layout). When I open up the CHM file everything looks fine, but when I change the focus off of the Help file the navigation pane hides. Is there a setting to always show the navigation pane?

Welcome to our community

If you edit your Window definition you should see an option labeled Auto-show/hide Nav Pane.

If this option is enabled, clear it and you should be golden. If it's not enabled, enable it and click OK. Then disable it and click OK.

If the steps listed earlier don't seem to resolve the issue, perhaps try creating a new window and defining that as the window for your CHM file.

Cheers... Rick

Thanks Rick. I was able to find it and get it working (just in time too).
