As the title says, RoboHelp x5 TOC and index missing when the project is converted to RoboHelp 10. Any ideas for recovering or importing the x5 TOC and index?

Before this is suggested, auto-create is not an option.

Hi there

Perhaps give this a try. From the Project Manager pod, right-click the Table of Contents area and choose "New Table of Contents". Give it a name and enable the "Copy existing Table of Contents" check box. Then click the Ellipsis icon on the far right side. See if you have a .HHC file in the folder. Odds are, you will. That will be the existing (missing) TOC.

Hopefully that will work. If so, repeat the process for the index.

I think when upgrading the project something goes wrong with naming.

Let us know if this helps... Rick

Thank you for the suggestions.

I can add new items to the table of contents, but I have not been able to restore the previoulsy created table of contents.

I have encountered a second more serious issue with the missing search tab. I have tried several of the suggested fixes from the forum, but still no search tab. Unfortunately, the search is not optional so I am debating whether to install x5 on another pc with XP and Office 2003 or continue trying to debug version 10.
