Question

When I generate my CHM file, some topics appear in blank!

Hi everyone.

I've been facing problems when I try to output my CHM file (RoboHelp 11).

The problem is that some topics appear in the list, but their content is in blank!

Some topics are OK, but others are in blank.

When I generate them clicking "Microsoft HTML Help" sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't.

I don't know why it happens... If you can help me...

It's save on a local folder. The weirdest thing is that some topics are OK, but others not.

Sometimes the same topic can be viewed, but if I generate it again, the same content disappears...

I will put some pictures to explain it better to you.

The next image is the same topic shown in the previous image... I can't figure out why it happens...

Thanks in advance!

Rick has already responded to you in this thread. The TOC topic when cliclked on left pane, doesn't display the content on the right pane.

I'm sure he will pick up with you on that later in the day.

Hi there

Is there any consistency to this? For example, does it always happen to the same topics and always after you compile?

Or is it hit and miss in the same file and the same session? For example, you open the topic and its fine, click to view a different topic and later try to view this topic again but it's blank?

Sure sounds like a head scratcher! Rick

Hi, Rick.

It's the first case. It often happens to the same topics and always after I compile.

However, sometimes when I compile it again, their content can be viewed.

It's so strange because I didn't modify anything in the output screen!

When you get the blank screen, see if you are able to right-click and view the source.
