Can an index entry NOT point to a topic?

Hi,
We have an index with main keywords and sub-keywords.  The main keywords are just used for grouping and don't point to an actual topic.  Using our previous tool, we were able to do this by setting the main keyword to cross-reference itself. This doesn't seem to work in RH; the topics don't appear in the generated index.  Is every keyword required to point to an actual topic in RH?
thanks,
Jenny

This sounds like there are no sub-keywords or that no topics are assigned to them. RoboHelp only displays index keywords if there are topics assigned to them or they have sub-kwywords that are. Maybe I should ask why you want to cross reference them. We just leave them unreferenced and they still appear. The only minor drawback is that when a user clicks on one they are told to click on a sub-keyword.

  • Some Indexed entries not appearing in master.chm

    Here's the situation:
    We have about 100 individual projects and they are all merged
    into a Master to bring them together. About half of the projects
    have a TOC. The TOCs for all projects are appearing great. All
    indexed entries come over when merging into the Master except for
    one single project. That project's TOC comes over fine, but NONE of
    the indexed entries are available in the index of master.chm. All
    index entries for that project, however, appear correctly when
    viewing that project's individual chm file.
    I have tried deleting the merged project from the Master and
    re-merging. I have tried recompiling the troublesome project and
    then re-merging. Same problem.
    Help.

    Hi there,
    As a follow up to the previous post I disabled iCloud and opted to keep all items on my iPad thinking that I'd rather have too much data than too litt.e  I then did an iTunes sync which replicated a lot of data in Outlook, but the renamed calendar still isn't being synced over or the entries that have been added to it.  I put in a test entry on the iPad and it's going into the renamed calendar1 but not showing up in Outlook.
    Any further tips.  I've tried installing OpenSSL as advised on another Apple support KB article but this has no effect.
    Thanks for any advice on this.
    All the best for now and take care.

  • TOC and Index entries sometimes blank in WebHelp output

    I'm running RoboHelp 10, generating Help files using the WebHelp target.
    Sometimes, in the WebHelp output, clicking a Table of Contents or Index entry restults with a bank topic. This issue is resolved my either maximizing/minimizing the screen or by refreshing the browser.
    The issue does not happen consistently in the output. As well, it seems to only happen in Internet Explorer 10.
    Is there a work-around for this issue?

    Just installing the patches is not enough. Adobe release some smaller
    fixes for WebHelp on IE10/11 and Chrome. (4 in total) For an overview of
    all RH fixes, see

  • [CS3] Create sideline notes from index entries

    When I import a word-document with marked index entries, the index entries are also imported into InDesign. Now I want to use these entries duplicated as sideline (margin) notes into a second column/textframe next to the original text referred to the marked index words. Is there a way to this?

    Can you explain in more detail?

  • How can I avoid having "XE index" entries in the pdf bookmarks frame?

    Hi,
    I try to use RH9 to create a pdf file, but the contents (= bookmarks) frame looks like this:
    1 Heading 1
    2 XE "Index word 1" /* MERGEFORMAT Heading 2
    3 XE "Index word 2" /* MERGEFORMAT XE "Index word 3" /* MERGEFORMAT XE "Index word 4" /* MERGEFORMAT Heading 3
    4 XE "Index word 5" /* MERGEFORMAT Heading 5
    Apart from the apalling look, these bookmarks jump somewhere, but not to the given topic.
    I know I could create a Word document instead and fix the headings there, but I am trying to delete this step from my workflow, because it is to time-consuming.
    Thank you for any suggestions!
    Irina

    On second look, no:  The same .dot - now hiding all formatting and special characters - results in a pdf-bookmarks (=TOC) frame
    a) without index entries, if the ssl hasn't checked the option "Keep HTML Heading levels" and
    b) with index entries, if the ssl has checked the option "Keep HTML Heading levels"
      a)  b)
    1) Any ideas, why setting this option results in a frame showing things which are hidden in the .dot file?
    2) Would an update to RH9 help? (I am very much hesitating this step since I've tried RH9 and found it corrupts all my conditional tags.)
    Thanx in advance,
    Irina

  • BB Curve 8350 quit email function. Can't load address for email setup..."blank entry not valid" even though info entered

    HELP!!  My BB quit sending/receiving emails 6 weeks ago.  I tried to do the setup again, but error message says "Blank entry not valid" even though the info has been entered (Email & password)   I tried to get help from Sprint but as they aren't supporting BB anymore, they just want me to upgrade. 
    I swapped devices this AM (8350 Black for 8350 Red) and the same issue on this device.  Any assistance is welcome!!!
    Thank you!

    If they cannot resolve your issue ask them to escalate your case to RIM. it is what they are SUPPOSED to do when they cannot resolve a BlackBerry issue. Whoever you have been on the phone with does not know what they are doing.
    This forum is not an official support channel but rather a peer-to-peer support forum community where other users just like yourself help each other out with their BlackBerry device.
    Some things can only be solved by RIM, however, and the only channel to their support is through your carrier.
    1. Please thank those who help you by clicking the "Like" button at the bottom of the post that helped you.

    I have a manual that contains headings and index entries that contain less than and greater than characters, < and >. The Publish to Responsive HTML5 function escapes these correctly in the main body of the text but does not work correctly in either the Contents or the Index of the generated HTML. In the Contents the words are completely missing and in the index entries the '\' characters that are required in the markers remain in the entry but the leading less than symbol and the first character of the word is deleted; hence what should appear as <dataseries> appears as \ataseries\>. I believe this is a FMv12 bug. Has anyone else experienced this? Is the FM team aware and working on a fix. Any suggestions for a workaround?

    The Index issue is more complicated since in order to get the < and > into the index requires the entry itself to be escaped. So, in order to index '<x2settings>' you have to key '\<x2settings\>'. Looking at the generated index entry in the .js file we see '<key name=\"\\2settings\\&gt;\">. This is a bit of a mess and produces an index entry of '\2settings\>'. This ought to be '<key name=\"&amp;lt;x2settings&amp;gt;\" >'. I have tested this fix and it works - but the worst of it is that the first character of the index entry has been stripped out. Consequently I cannot fix this with a few global changes - and I have a lot of index entries of this type. I'm looking forward to a response to this since I cannot publish this document in its current state.

  • Index Preview Panel does not include all my index entries

    I've put all my chapters in a book and created an Index. All is well until I try to edit the Index. InDesigns materials tell me to go to my Index Preview Panel to make edits, which works fine. But the Panel does not contain all my index entries. I've tried updating the previews and regenerating the Index numerous times, but I still cannot get an up-to-date preview panel. Any ideas???

  • Problems searching for not existing index entries

    Hi,
    we are creating a Java Fat Client Application with JDK 1.5.0_07 and compliance level 1.4. The GUI bases on the SWT libraries.
    The application ships with JavaHelp 2.0_02 (jh.jar).
    The helpset is dynamically merged.
    JavaHelp has problems e.g. during search for index entries, which does not exist. The JavaHelp Window does not react anymore. The rest of the application still works fine.
    Has someone encountered similar problems, found the reason and propably a solution?
    Thanks, Joerg.

    Hi Mikkel
    1) number attributes are only exposed in the complete search sample (search.jsp), not the others (usearch.jsp, tsearch.jsp, gsearch.jsp)
    2) Your understanding of the binary encoding is correct, except wk_queryexp package does not handle binary encoding. This is because that package
    is meant for 9.0.1 API, which only supports string attributes.
    In 9.0.2 and beyond, the encoding of number, date attributes is done in the query API layer in Java, using
    the Equals, GreaterThan, LessThan, Between query operators. Please take a look at search.jsp
    and see how they are used. The compile() method of the query operators will encode the values for you.
    Keep in mind that you should code your application to use the query API, as the encoding algorithm
    may change in the future.

  • Entire index entry is not hyperlinked

    Hello,
    I am using InDesign CS5 and am familiar with indexing. However, when I produce the exported PDF only the page number is the active hyperlink to the index entry. How can I get the index to treat the entire index entry (ie Name . . . . . . pg 2) to be hyperlinked?

  • HT3350 what can you do when you get this warning? "Scouting Book  Collection Index" could not be handled because Numbers cannot open files in the "Numbers Document" format.

    “Scouting Book  Collection Index” could not be handled because Numbers cannot open files in the “Numbers Document” format.

    This file was created in 2002 in MSword but this had been forgotten.
    When I went to open it.... (MSword) was not a program option on my laptop. For some reason, I assumed that either Pages or Numbers wouild open the file. How the file was created was forgotten and had no file Info, but I new that it was a table of valuable information.
    The warning threw me off, because it led me to believe that it was a Numbers file. which Numbers would not open. A paradox.
    I took the file to a laptop in OSXpanther with MSoffice and it opened in MSword. Problem Solved.
    Thank you for your help.

  • I can't not set Poject Start Point, as described on p 151 of manual. "You can move the project start point to an earlier position" . Can anyone do this?

    I'm unable to change the Project Start Point.   ( I can change the end point easily)
    On page 151 of the manual it states:
    "You can move the project start point to an earlier position..."
    I can't find a way to do it.   Are other able to change it. If so, please explain the procedure.

    Mmmmm,…..I just noticed this as well…….
    Anyway, try this:
    For the sake of this demonstration start a new project.
    Click the mouse pointer on the playhead in the ruler,
    now the project start indicator should appear, hover the mouse pointer above it until this indicator appears,
    when you see it left click, hold and scroll to the left.
    Good luck!
