How do I UNmerge indexes when I can't find the subproject icon?

I inherited a huge project in RoboHelp HTML 7. The index in this project is merged with the index in another project. I need to UNmerge the two indexes, but I cannot find the subproject icon in the TOC pod. Is there any other way to UNmerge the two projects - especially the two indexes?

Merged Help proper must have the child projects listed in the TOC of the parent project. Anything else must be a home brewed merge.

Is there any way to completely wipe out the merged index and start from scratch? I do not see a child project in the TOC (nor the Index) pod, and I've been trying to resolve this for days and days. The project is convoluted, but the people who created it have left the company.

Hi there

I've personally never seen any sort of a "merged index" indication in any RoboHelp project I've ever worked with. AFAIK, the merging totally occurs within the TOC by virtue of adding that special Merged icon that points to another TOC which is part of a different project.

The actual merging does not occur at edit time. It occurs when the help output is displayed and presented to the end user.

Are you saying there are entries you are seeing in your main project that belong to a child? Can you please post screen shots? (You will need to reply using the web interface and click the camera icon appearing in the tool bar above where you type.)
