Beth, the best I can do so far is to select Tools > Fix Multilevel
Keywords > Advanced on the RoboHELP Explorer, and redefine the separator
character to be a comma. This solves all my problems but one. Entries
that should read
subject, modifier
Instead read
subject,modifier
If I futz around and try to edit in a blank, the entire entry
disappears!
Just one more arcane discovery and maybe I can coax a decent index out
of RoboHELP 6.
