Question

Topic found using Search not showing in Contents

Hi,

A tester has just pointed out to me that if you search for a topic using the Search facility, if you then click on Contents while that topic is open, the contents tree does not automatically expand to show you whereabouts in the project that topic occurs.

I can't figure out why. Any ideas please?

Barbara

Do you have AutoSync ticked in the webhelp settings?

What you describe should work as required.

Do you mean "Synchronize Table of Contents" - Automatically - in the WebHelp settings pane prior to compiling the help?

If so, then yes, it is set to "Automatically" but the problem is occurring.

Yes, it occurs if I generate the help and click View Result.

Have tried opening one of the samples but am getting an error message saying "Open project was cancelled or the application was unable to load database for: <project name>"


To fix the sample project issue, locate the projects in the My RoboHelp and delete the CPD file before opening again. I am assuming you did try to open as per my instructions. There is another copy in Program Files but that cannot be opened for normal use, it is a backup.

If you cannot open a sample, create a new project with just two or three topics.

Version of Rh?
