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.
Question from a colleague here - may well be something obvious we're
missing. I've checked the archives and the Frame site but no luck. Not a
big problem (small doc) but irritating. Scenario is:
Existing docs with changes.
Copied all the docs (entire folder structure) to new location)
Made the changes (so he had the original as well as the updated
version).
Problem is that the index and TOC didn't regenerate - sections that were
deleted etc still appeared in both.
Thought it might have been because of how it was copied - book still
looking at old location. He created a new book and added the files in
the new locations but no joy - TOC and index still seemed to be pointing
to old location. Simply regenerated them and formatted but annoying -
any ideas?
