TechWhirl (TECHWR-L) is a resource for technical writing and technical communications professionals of all experience levels and in all industries to share their experiences and acquire information.
For two decades, technical communicators have turned to TechWhirl to ask and answer questions about the always-changing world of technical communications, such as tools, skills, career paths, methodologies, and emerging industries. The TechWhirl Archives and magazine, created for, by and about technical writers, offer a wealth of knowledge to everyone with an interest in any aspect of technical communications.
I am currently refreshing my skills in RoboHelp HTML (version 2000), but I
think I may be able to help. Be sure to set up your topics (Chapter 1,
Chapter 2, etc.). Then, follow these instructions:
1. Click the TOC tab.
2. Click the New Book icon.
3. Enter a title for the book.
4. In "Type", select Link to Single Topic.
5. In "Topic", select the appropriate Topic / Chapter.
6. Click OK.
I am also sending a sample of the compiled test file to your personal
e-mail address to confirm that I created what you were asking for.
Please let me know if this helps. If not, maybe we can explore further.
