In Robo 11, when generating WebHelp, the toc and index are not accesible. The buttons are there, but they're not active.

Have you applied the patches?

Which browsers does this occur in?

Hi Peter, no I haven't installed any patches. Where can I find them?

I installed RoboHelp 11 v11.0.0.179 last Friday.

The problems occur when I publish WebHelp to Firefox. Also happens when I

publish to my desktop.

Just a minute ago I noticed the Search function doesn't work when i publish

FlashHelp to Firefox.

Thanks,

Without checking, that sounds like a fix for a specific issue. You need

Hi Peter, found an interesting way to enable the Contents, Index & search

buttons:

Generate Webhelp to file system, (Contents, Index & search buttons are

inactive).

Copy the url in the above window into a newly-opened IE window.

All three buttons are now active.

I was having so many problems i de-installed v11 and installed it again.

I've noticed it now takes a much longer time (approx. 25 minutes) to

generate FlashHelp - no idea why.

Cheers, Chuck
