When compiling Printed documentation, Robohelp 8.02 just hangs at :

Completed building chapters...

Updating list paragraphs...

Can't Cancel and doesnt carry on.  Have to end task after 15 mins on a very small project.

Any ideas ?

Not from the information given.

Have you tried another project? You will find sample projects at

C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe RoboHelp 8\RoboHTML\Samples\en_US

or

C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe Technical Communication Suite 2\Adobe RoboHelp 8\RoboHTML\Samples\en_US

Have you looked at the output log for clues?

Has this print layout worked before?

Are you generating to a local drive?

Take a look at the Printed Documentation pages on my site.

Yes, it hangs in same place for all projects - after "Updating List paragraphs"  I am generating to my local drive and the source is on my local drive.  this was all working perfectly up to a few days ago.  Which log file can I look at ?

See if excluding the next topic (alphabetically in the topic list) with a conditional build tag changes anything.
