Setting conditional TOC problems

[Guest]

Here's the thing,

I am working on a rather large project using RH 7 from which i create a 400 page manual.

In some cases at the TOC level i reference topics twice. This of course works fine when navigating the online help but is causing issues when creating printed documentation. Basically in quite a few cases i want to set a topic for online only in one section of the TOC and print only somewhere else. When i then produce the printed manual, any topics that i have set to online only that are referenced somewhere else are printed into Word as well.....

Is there a way of setting a duplicated topic in the TOC to be both online and print only?

I obviously know about these topics that i do not want to be printed into word and delete them accordingly. The problem is we are outsourcing all our documentation to be translated and although i can advice them to delete the topics, one less thing to worry about is a good thing when it comes to translations - especially as we are translating into Mandarin (gulp)

I hope all this makes sense!

RH7 allows multiple TOCs so could you not maintain one for online and one for print? Each time you print you would clear the layout and refresh it with the latest Print TOC.

Cheers Peter - i think i will take your advice. It will require a bit more maintenance but it certainly fixes the problem.

thanks again,
