How to stop getting unreferenced images added in the web help output

Hello,

I have one robohelp project with 6 different TOCs. From each TOC, I am generating one web help and one chm output. So, in all 6 webhelp outputs and 6 CHM outputs.

Now, while generating any output, I found that almost all the images from the project are included in the output even when the images are not used in the particular TOC or the respective topic is not linked from the TOC. Due to this, the size of the output is unnecessarily increasing.

Has anybody come across such situation? Am I doing something wrong? Is there any option to stop getting un-referenced images added in the output?

Do you have Exclude Unreferenced Topics from Output marked for each of these outputs?  For Microsoft Help, it's towards the bottom of the first window that displays after you choose to generate. For WebHelp, after you choose to generate, choose Content Categories and then Content <Default>. The exclude option is at the bottom of that window.

Thanks Kim for your reply. Yes, I selected both the options available at the bottom the dialog box. But, still the images are coming.

Oh rats. I'm sure the in-house experts will have better suggestions.
