Print output in Word

[vinay ghat]

I am having a problem with double heading in print output. I don't know if this is a problem due to the process we are following in getting the print out from RoboHelp. We are currently importing a fully styled Word document into Robohelp. The TOC gets generated automatically as the configuration setting is set to add to existing TOC while importing. However, from the TOC I have no way of checking what is contained in the book level topic and in the TOC it all looks perfectly alright. But when I generate the output the print layout shows a book and topic with the same name. I tried removing the topic under the book, but, doing removes the actual content. If I leave it alone I am seeing two headngs for every book item in TOC. I don't know how to resolve this.

Another thing is that I can't get the style.dot to work for me as this is throwing up double numbering in the Word output TOC and also in the actual content. My content in Robohelp is outline numbered and when I use a template, it is somehow creating double numbering. Moreover the output TOC is somewhat distorted and I am unable to get the look and I feel I want.

Here are the screenshots of input and output docs and the steps in import and print output.

If you don't want the TOC book headings to appear, remove them from the Chapter Layout dialog and just use the topic headings.

Thanks Colum. When I try to remove the book headings by using the left arrow key, all the topics under them are getting removed. But if I remove the same numbered topic, all the content within that topic will be lost. Am I doing something wrong?

Instead of selecting the book and adding that, select the topics and add those instead. You should end up with a flat list of topics on the right hand side.

OK. By creating a flat structure, I would be required to re-apply formatting to all the headings again in the Word output file, right?

So, the choice is between, whether I want to do the style formatting again for all the topics, or remove the book headings in the Word output--the latter to me looks less laborious. Let me know what you think.
