Hi,

I have updated one of my projects from RoboHelp 5x to Robohelp 8, and now when i want to edit it, all my topics are x-ed out ( i added an image) and if i double-click on any of them, the TOC Page Properties dialog box appears.

Does anyone know what the problem might be?

Many thanks!!!

    Are the topics also missing in Project Manager? If not, it sounds like somehow the TOC is corrupted and you might need to recreate it.

    Well, Peter, I opened it from the Project Manager, double clicked on Table of Contents and it opens the books and topics. And that is what I see. Also, there are many broken links.

    That's what I was getting at. The topics are all in the project but the TOC has somehow got corrupted so each TOC item will show as a broken link. If you open the Topic List and drag the topics to the TOC one by one, removing the broken items as you go, the broken links will get corrected.

    Actually, I'm not sure we are at one yet. You opened the TOC from Project Manager. Ignore that for now. Do the topics show there under Project Files?
