Robohelp 11-Link Word documents

Hi

I am using RH 11 and I  am trying to generate a help system from an already existing  Word documents by linking them.

I don’t know how making a TOC from the documents.

I get all the topics and subtopics on level 1, without grouping them into books.

Is there a way to make RH generate the multi-level TOC from the linked document?

Any help would be much appreciated.

Thanks.

In the first paragraph you talk of documents but in the final paragraph you talk of document (singular).

The Auto Create TOC works on folders and bookmarks so it would create a book for each folder. You could create a folder for each linked document. That would be a start and bookmarks would give a further level of indentation. Beyond that, it becomes more manual.

With each document in a folder, you can then view the Topic List to just see the topics from one folder (document). That might make the manual element easier.

Hope that helps.

Thanks for your answer.

There are more than 100 word documents.

I need to keep them separate because I also publish them independently one by one.

So, the only way the Auto Create TOC works is creating a folder for each document,  isn't it?

Thanks,

It creates a book for each folder. If each folder only contains one document, then that will do what I think you want.
