Failed when generated to Word

Hi Everyone. 

 

In RH 2020.8.34, when I try to generate Word output, I get the simple error message:  "Failed to generate [name of TOC]" and here's what I see when right-clicking the output preset:

 

 

Any advice for me?

 

Thank you!

    The yellow highlighted row indicates there is a topic pointing to "default.css" but something prevented the file from being copied (into the temporary directory used when building the word output, I think). Most likely is the path is wrong and that file doesn't exist in the specified location.

     

    Try the Reports > Broken Links report to see if the stylesheet appears. You can either browse for the correct file from the report (right-click > Replace link) or open the incorrect file and manually reapply there. (My guess is the problem file will be the one listed immediately before or after the error in the log.)

     

     

    I'm not sure that will fix error in red at the end of the report, but fixing it will rule out one possibility.

    You have to find the topic with the link that is pointing to your hard drive. In the topic the link will be a relative link so it will not show the full path that is in the error message, that is why I said to search on the end part of the string.

     

    Searching on Yana2023/OTOLEAP should find it. Then copy the target into your project.

     

    I don't understand why you are suggesting creating a folder.

    sorry, I don't understand what you are referring to about the "target"

    The warning in yellow is telling you that a topic has a link to something that is on your hard drive but not within the project. Search on part of the end of the string, not the whole link.

    To add, users will not be able to access your hard drive so the link would fail.
