I had similar issues with RoboHelp 7 a few years ago. If you added a file
from an outside source, it would get messed up and maybe compile or maybe
ignore. It didn't want to pull it into the TOC or Index. If you opened and
edited an existing HTML file in something other than RoboHelp, RH would lose
sight of it and not recognize it.

I'm not sure how this will work with the chm files.

What I found was this, if I remember correctly.

1. In worse case scenario, you open a new page in RH and cut and paste your
material in, format it, and then compile. Then redo your Index and TOC.

2. Best case scenario was you could refresh the TOC or Index.

3. Most common was to delete the TOC and Index and let it build it again.

Hope that helps.

Has anyone experienced this problem and if so, do you know how to fix
it:


We have an api.chm file that we include in our online help .chm file.
When I recompile the online help project after adding the api.chm, it
compiles just fine and adds the api help. But it does not add the index
for the api.chm. In previous versions, I'm told by the writer who's been
here longer, it did add the index. This seems to be specific to RoboHelp
9.

We haven't been able to find any information on the Adobe RoboHelp
forums or help.

Anyone out there have any clues how to fix this?

Thanks so much for any helpful advice or things to try.

Best,

ann
