Always open the Contents?

I have selected the Auto-synchronize TOC option and it works fine to open the Contents panel book along with the corresponding topic. However, if the user goes to the Index and later opens Help, Help opens with the Index panel.
Is there a way to always open the Contents panel? In other words, have that be the default - not what the user has done last?

Hi, denc,
When they pass a help call to your .chm file, your software developers can use the HH_DISPLAY_TOC command to open the file with the Contents tab at the front. See this page for more information on the command:
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms670083(VS.85).aspx
If the help window is opened in any other way, the most recently used tab is always foremost. Unfortunately, this is standard and non-configurable HTML Help behaviour.

    It is not listed in Login items. I tried all the usual fixes plus Diskwarrior rebuild.

    I suggest deleting the Canon Network Scanner from Login Items to determine if that is the cause. Not knowing exactly what it does, I suspect it is intended to monitor the printer's supply levels all the time. It's not necessary to do that. You can always determine the printer's ink supply level every time you print something, when its Print dialog appears. You can also check its supply levels by opening System Preferences on your own, and selecting Printers & Scanners.
    Bear in mind Login Items is simply a convenience that loads the programs you specify every time you log in. That feature is less important as it had been in the past since Mavericks will re-open everything that was open when you last logged out, if you select this checkbox:
    If you want to add the Adobe programs to Login Items again, search for them using Spotlight. The Adobe programs themselves should not be causing this behavior.

    When I start Safari 5.1 in Lion, it always opens the last page opened.  Is there a way to start on the homepage?

    That sounds great, but on my system, that box is not at the bottom of my Pref/General page, but is when I log out and put it to sleep.  What is really annoying is that I have to do this every time, instead of unchecking it and it being permanent.  Yes, I have Safari 5.1 and Lion.  I would like to permanently disable this as I too, think it is absurd and not a great idea when banking, paying bills, etc.

  • I have a MacBook Pro (purchased in 2011) with OS X Lion 10.7.4.  I'm using Microsoft Office 2011 and cannot open older PowerPoint Files (non .pptx). It will always open the same .pptx file and then the machine hangs up and just keeps spinning.

    Thank you - that all makes sense. It is, indeed, exactly what I did when I upgraded.
    I'm also writing this on the machine that crashed a few minutes ago (I posted the crash in another thread). I got back with a 'safe boot' - as I have done a few times before.
    I've also de-installed little snitch (and then done a safe-boot & then re-boot ) since that seemed involved. I de-installed Adobe flash, since that seemed to be a problem - I then re-installed the later, apparently fixed, flash. The most recent crashes don't seeme to have a problem with flash any more.
    I've posted the various ( generally different ) crashes. I also posted a summary of the similar lines that turn up in most of the crashes.
    Unfortuantely, I'm actually trying to use the machine to meet some urgent deadlines and all this is not making it at all easy.
    I had had great hopes for 10.7.2 - I thought that the crashes must be pretty common, so would have a common aetiology. There do seem to have been some fundamental changes to the file sytem and to the video interface (that seems to cause problems to brand new iMacs as well as to my 2009 iMac).

  • Button in Content Viewer always opens the Menu of Content Viewer

    I tried about everything. I searched in every Forum for my Problem.
    But I couldn't find any answer, so I must be doing something completely wrong.
    • I'm using the latest Adobe CS 5.5 to build a folio.
    • I'm creating buttons, which work with the indesign preview (in the right hand Menu)
    • But everytime I try them on my iPad with the Adobe Content Viewer App they don't work:
         By tapping on the Button, the Menu of the Content Viewer App opens and not the preset action (Go to State...)
    Please help me, I'm desperate!
    Thx

    My First Try:
    I have got two States, and the Button (the oval in the middle) should switch to the second State
    My second try:
    Here: by tapping the green dot, the second State (which sits just on top of the dot) should appear.
    Like I said, in theory (with the preview function on the computer it works, but not on the ipad

  • Safari Always Opens the Same Two Pages.

    First off, I'm running Lion on my computer. So every time I open Safari in the last month or so, it always opens up to the same two pages: Macrumors, and some Netflix movie page I looked at once. No matter how many times I close these two pages, navigate away from them, close them and start with a completely new window, when I quit Safari, it's always them that open up. It completely disregards what I had open before (its supposed to open up to the pages I was last on when I quit). I know its not because they are set to my homepage. I have facebook set as that, and I just checked, so it's not like these two somehow got in there. I don't know what the deal is here, but it's starting to bother me. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
    Thanks.

    Back up all data.
    Triple-click the line below to select it:
    ~/Library/Saved Application State/com.apple.Safari.savedState
    Right-click or control-click the highlighted line and select
    Services ▹ Reveal
    from the contextual menu. A Finder window should open with an item selected. Quit the application if it's running. Move the selected item to the Desktop, leaving the window open. Relaunch the application and test. If there's no change, quit again and put the item you moved back where it was, overwriting the one that may have been created in its place. Otherwise, delete the item you moved.

    Hi Grace,
    The free app MPEG Streamclip may be able to convert the file to a more suitable format. It can be downloaded from the developer's site here:

  • Whenever I click one of my bookmarks (not all), it always opens the BBC News page and not the original target page. Any clues anyone please?

    In fact I just tried another and it opened the Yahoo home page. All the bookmarks in the Bookmarks Toolbar work fine, but anything outside of that doesn't. Mostly it opens the http://news.bbc.co.uk.
    Any help would be much appreciated.
    Jeff

    A possible cause is a problem with the file places.sqlite that stores the bookmarks and the history.

  • Why do applications always open the last document or page viewed?

    I love my Mac.  But since I got my new iMac and OS Lion, I've had a hard time with one option and I can't figure out how to turn it off.
    When I open Excel, it opens the last document viewed.  Even when I click on a new document, it still opens the last document.  When I open Safari, it takes me to the last page viewed.  Its very annoying, probably useful to someone other then me. How do I turn this feature off?
    Thanks
    Jim

    That is part of Resume, a feature that re-opens the documents that were open when you quit.
    You can turn it off system-wide in the General System Preferences.
    On a per-app basis, you can only use the cmd-option-q shortcut or menu to close all windows and quit.

    The password should be used to open the PDF file that was also sent.

  • Firefox 17 always opens the tabs that were open the last time I closed it. I do NOT use restore history.

    This has started happening since I upgraded to v.17. I close Firefox either with the Red X or the exit button on the dropdown menu. The next time I open, it displays whatever pages were open when I closed it.
    I have always had Firefox use my Google account as my home page. It will not display.
    It seems to me that in your quest to keep updated (how many this year...?) that you've lost a little something. This is very bad behavior and I'll just stop using FF altogether if it isn't fixed soon.

    Make sure that Firefox closes properly and that there are no hanging Firefox processes left in the task manager.<br />
    It is usually best to use the Exit item in the Firefox or File menu to close Firefox.
    See:
    *"Hang at exit": http://kb.mozillazine.org/Firefox_hangs
    *"Firefox hangs when you quit it": https://support.mozilla.org/kb/Firefox+hangs
    You can check for problems with the files sessionstore.js and sessionstore.bak in the Firefox Profile Folder that store session data.
    Delete the sessionstore.js file and possible sessionstore-##.js files with a number and sessionstore.bak in the Firefox Profile Folder.
    *Help > Troubleshooting Information > Profile Directory: Open Containing Folder
    *http://kb.mozillazine.org/Profile_folder_-_Firefox
    Deleting sessionstore.js will cause App Tabs and Tab Groups and open and closed (undo) tabs to get lost, so you will have to create them again (make a note or bookmark them).
