Unable to auto expand topics when loading help pages with F1

Question

Hi,Within out application we have been restricted to using Microsoft Compiled HTML Help. I am over familiar with this format and have come across an issue with topics not auto expanding when pages are launched.We have integrated Context Sensitive Help but I have found when launching the application using F1 that while it loads the relevant topic it does not expand the menu to the relevant section. I found a thread that suggested I needed to set the TOC properties checkbox so 'Always Show Selection' was checked but this has not worked.I am using Robohelp 8 version 8.0.0.203.Can anyone please advise if this is possible using this output and if so advise on how we can get it to work.ThanksAlix

The option to do this is greyed out!I did some research which suggested that this is because the original project was not HTML help. New projects automatically launch as web help.Can I activate the option or create a project where the default is HTML help as I can't see anything that allows me to do this?RegardsAlixYou don't need to create a new project. Just:Set Microsoft HTML Help as your default single source layout. Right click on it to do this.Create a new Window. Right click again on a window and select New Window.Set the option in the window.Change the properties of your Single Source layout to use the new window.
