Question

<RoboHelp HTML 9 - CHM file> The Back button works uncorrectly.

Dear all,

I am using RH HTML 9 to generate chm file from my project. The problem is when I click on topic 1, topic 2, topic 3 in turn in the Content pane. After that I click the Back button three times, topic 2 is highlighted on the Content pane, although the content of the topic 1 is displayed on the right pane. I think the topic 1 should be highlighed on the Content pane. Is it a bug of Microsoft HTML Help ?

Please help me understand what Microsoft HTML Help does in generating .chm within RoboHelp 9 ?

Thank you.

Hi there

Sounds like you need to enable synchronization.

You do this in the Window properties. (Project Set-up pod > Windows)

Cheers... Rick

I wonder that whether other RoboHelp's users also have the same problem with me ?

I think it may be time to check your Microsoft HTML Help configuration. Use the link below to check it and post back:

Dear RoboColum(n),

The following is the report from my machine. Please help me check it. I really don't have experience in this. Thank you so much.

MJ's Help Report

A common problem with HTML Help 1.x is DLLs not correctly registered during installation. This utility checks all components and registers DLLs if required. We also report if the RoboHelp DLL is registered, and if MS Help 2 components are installed and registered.

After running the report, try running your program again to see if the fault has cleared.
