How can I avoid having "XE index" entries in the pdf bookmarks frame?

Hi,

I try to use RH9 to create a pdf file, but the contents (= bookmarks) frame looks like this:

1 Heading 1

2 XE "Index word 1" /* MERGEFORMAT Heading 2

3 XE "Index word 2" /* MERGEFORMAT XE "Index word 3" /* MERGEFORMAT XE "Index word 4" /* MERGEFORMAT Heading 3

4 XE "Index word 5" /* MERGEFORMAT Heading 5

Apart from the apalling look, these bookmarks jump somewhere, but not to the given topic.

I know I could create a Word document instead and fix the headings there, but I am trying to delete this step from my workflow, because it is to time-consuming.

Thank you for any suggestions!

Irina

My guess is you have Word to show field names by default so when RoboHelp uses Word behind the scenes, it gets the field name instead. Check your Word settings.

Hi Peter,

thanks, I didn't keep in mind that the fact whether the special characters are shown or hidden are part of the .dot file. That explains why the the index entries vanished at some point ... ;.)

Best regards,

Irina
