Question

How can I uncheck "Binary Index" if I have already disabled all keywords?

A week or so ago, I asked a question about the binary index and how to delete topic keywords so I could uncheck the box on the "Project Settings" page.  I received a great, helpful response: "

First, click View > Pods > Project Manager.

Locate the Index folder and expand it.

Double-click the Index entry in the folder to open the Index Designer.

Scan the topics listed in the top part of the Index Designer. You are looking for any topic that has a Page icon with a Key superimposed."

So I did all of this, and it worked great for all of my projects but one.  I have deleted all of the keywords, but I still am unable to uncheck the box.  Anything else anyone can suggest that I do?  Anywhere else I should be looking, or something I may be missing?

Thanks!

    Hello again

    Nothing like a user name of SouthRiverTech to tell us you have been drinking the Iconlogic water!

    By chance does this project have a funny icon in your table of contents? One that looks like this?

    If so, that indicates a merge. My thought here is that if you have this, the project may be forcing a binary index as those are required if merging CHM files.

    Cheers... Rick

    I actually took a class a few months back and loved it!  I really learned a lot!

    And yes, I do have that icon in my TOC. Any way to get rid of it?

    Hello again

    Select it and press the Delete key.

    The problem is, this means someone created a Merged entry. As long as you know you don't want to merge the output of this project with another project, you should be fine. But I think you have some detective work to do.

    Is the output CHM or WebHelp?

    Cheers... Rick
