Other topics in the project open at the top. Is there a setting I missed?

Hi

I have a similar issue - but I can't seem to fix it as above.

My document has a long toc - and we are using Robohelp, Multiscreen output for sharepoint.

When we click on a menu item in the navigation bar, first it moves up to the top of the new page (near the title), and then it moves back down to align the screen with the navigation toc item - so the new page is displayed half way down. Sorry, can't screencapture it due to business requirements.

We would like the screen to display top of the new page, and not align itself with the menu item. This happens to all of the pages (so assume it might do with a setting)

ToC is automatically created.

Any ideas on changing it?

I know you can't share a screen capture of what's happening, but what about one where you have right-clicked the TOC element and revealed the properties?

Cheers... Rick

Hi,

I was using Robohelp 11, but it seems to be working ok in Robohelp 15. Just tried it.

Thanks

Hi there

Is there a setting you missed?

Well, quite possibly. After all, there are things you missed when you posted!

For example:

How is the topic being opened? From the TOC? From the Index? From the Search? From a Hyperlink in another topic? From a button of some sort?

If it's from the search, the topic is likely scrolling to reveal the area where the search term was found. If it's from the TOC, the Index or a Hyperlink, it's likely that the link from these areas is pointing to a Named Anchor (Bookmark) in the topic.

Cheers... Rick

Thanks for the quick reply and sorry the post was so lacking in needed information. A bit of frustration / desperation leaking out I suppose. I was opening the topic from the TOC (published project-issue identified during QA testing). I looked in the HTML view and did not ‘see’ a bookmark in the area.

Where would I look to verify that the ‘pointing to’ code is correct? Hope that question makes sense. I’m new to RoboHelp and not sure of all the language I should use.

Thanks, Mary
