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.

OK, next I deleted ALL the entries in the index (in the Index pod in RoboHelp), saved, then recompiled. Although the index pod is empty, there is a new index that now has ONLY index entries from that other "sub" project!!!!!!! Arg!

Okay, backing up a step or three here.

What is the output type? CHM? WebHelp? What?

Where are you testing it from? Clicking View after compiling/generating? Using a link on the desktop?

Perhaps by learning more we can better ascertain where the issue really is hiding.
