Can I turn off the TOC ?

I am using RH 8, Windows 7 and generating WebHelp

I have a merged project. I have 4 child rpojects and 1 parent. Can I turn off the TOC on the parent and only see it on the child projects?

I have already unchecked all of the options in all of the windows when I generate and that didn't help.

thanks.

Hi all

Call me silly here, but why isn't this as simple as creating a single HTML page with links that point to the projects? If you want to use RoboHelp to create the page, go for it. Just turn off the "Show navigation pane link in topics" and generate. Then pluck out the single page and use it. Otherwise, just create a page in Dreamweaver or Notepad or any other editor to link to the projects.

Cheers... Rick

Egh?

You want all the child TOCs to show in the merge but not the parent TOC? Yes it can be done but I am not sure I understand what you want and would like to clarify that first.

What we want is for the first page of the help to display without a TOC. This would be my parent project and only contains links to the child projects. All of the child projects display in separate windows with their own toc, which is fine. We just don't want it on the first page.

I hope that makes sense.

Yes, I know that's not really a merge. But that's what's wanted.

As for turning off the options when I generate, I have turned off everything (unchecked all of the boxes in all of the windows) but I still get a pod/frame/whatever on the left side of the window, it just doesn't have anything in it. Can I make that not appear?
