RoboHelp 8 and topics

[Malcolm Norman <malcolm -dot- norman -at- caris -dot- com>]

Hi all

When I import a FrameMaker file or book into a Robohelp 8 project and 
build the file(s) into Microsoft HTML Help, each file is treated as a 
single topic. This means when I click a book icon in the CHM file's 
Table of Contents, there only one topic and I have to scroll through it 
in much the same way I would through a PDF file. I always thought that 
help files should contain stand-alone topics.

Is there a way to tell RoboHelp to create separate topics from specified 
paragraph tags (e.g. Heading2 -- create new topic, Heading3 -- create 
new topic, etc.)?

We are evaluating RoboHelp, and this seems its biggest drawback.

I hope this makes sense.
