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.

    I think I would be inclined to grab a copy of the backup before you upgraded and try again. The project is on a local drive and no source control is involved, correct?

    Thank you, Peter! The project is saved on Clear Case, so I suppose I can go back to before I upgraded, but I do not have any older version of RoboHelp to open it with. I will try with a local copy.
