Webhelp Settings correctly show Output Folder & Start Page, but pubishes a different Start Page.

Why, and where else can I look to fix this?

When I publish a file, it incorrectly opens like this:

It opens to Charge Entry topic within Charge entry book.

I would like it to open like this:

Showing the Workqueue Help Overview page.

The Properties for the WebHelp (Primary Layout has the Output Folder and Start Page as C:\\Charge Entry - Workqueue\!SSL!\WebHelp\charge_entry_-_workqueue_help_overview.htm

That is the correct page to show the file I want to show.

Do you have any suggestion as to where I can go to change it?

Thanks for any help and/or insight you can give.

I'm a relatively new RoboHelp user.

Sorry, the correct screenshot should be this one!

You are not understanding the difference between a start page and a default topic.

The start page is what opens the tripane window. Typically you call it index.htm. Elsewhere in the configuration of your output there is a field to set the default topic. That is the topic that will appear in the topic pane. Select the topic you mentioned and then the help will open as you wish.

Please see the Sticky Topic "Before You Post" and start new threads with the version and edition of RoboHelp that you are using. Had you done so, I could have included a screenshot to help you.

Post back if still not clear.
