Question

Glossary in .chm file

Hi Everyone:

I'm using RoboHelp HTML, ver 8.0.2.208, with other users in a version controlled environment.

I have created a .chm file but the glossary and glossary tab do not appear in the file.  I do have the glossary populated with terms and info but when I generate the .chm, there's no glossary tab and hence no glossary info.

I do have a glossary listed in the HTML Help Options-Microsoft HTML Help window before I generate but no luck with it appearing in the resulting .chm.

Any ideas?   Thank you so much for any help/input.  I really don't know what I would do without this forum -- it's been a lifesaver!

Hi there

First, check to ensure your Window definition has the Glossary enabled. Assuming it is, the next step is to try creating a new Window definition. Then configure the SSL to point at the new definition. If that still doesn't coax it to show, try creating a new layout. Just right-click in the SSL pod and choose to create a new layout.

Don't copy the layout as it would be like cloning a cow with a birth defect. You would likely bring the birth defect right into the clone! Best practice is to create it from scratch.

Keep us updated on your progress... Rick

1. Please forgive the stupid question:  But how do I configure the SSL to point at the new definition?

I appreciate the help, thank you!
