No Index tab in generated Help

This seems like a really simple question so I apologize if I missed something, but I am using RoboHelp HTML X5.0.2 to generate Microsoft HTML Help. When I Generate Primary Layout, everything works fine and I am able to View the Result, but it only has Contents and Search tabs, and there is no Index tab. The "List Topics" button works fine, but I have lots of Index entries in my Help project and don't understand why they don't show.
Is this a limitation of (my version of) RoboHelp? Of Microsoft HTML help? I have only tried viewing the results on my computer (Windows XP SP3) - is the OS a limitation? P.S. when I click on the Advanced... button from the Project Properties the Default Frame on the Index tab says "Default (none)" - that seems strange and I tried changing this to the other settings (New Window, Parent Frame, etc.) but that didn't seem to affect the results.
Thanks in advance for any help

Hi aecspades and welcome to the RH community.
This could be because the index keywords have not be added to the project's index file. If you go into your project settings (File > Project Settings) you'll find an option there which I bet is set to add keywords to the topics. For the index tab to display you must have keywords added to the HHK file.

Remove Index tab

Is it possible to remove Index tab from CHM help file
?

Hi mperel and welcome to our community
What John said is technically accurate, but as with anything,
there are exceptions and workarounds.
You may want to try this. In RoboHelp HTML, click the Index
tab. If you see entries, delete them all. When I do this and
recompile, I get a TOC and Search tab only. Perhaps you will as
well.
Cheers... Rick

What Help Viewer Component Enables Index tab?

A customer of ours has a problem with any .chm help file not displaying their index contents properly (showing up as blank). In our app, we have a Help | Help Index menu item that opens up our .chm's index tab. This ends up crashing the entire application.
Similarly, accessing the help file directly in Windows Explorer (outside of our application) works fine until he goes to the chm's Index tab in which case the HelpViewer crashes.
Another similar symptom: sometimes the Index tab's contents will be blank and then a crash occurs when he attempts to close the help viewer.
The index tab problems are not unique to our help files however. So I think there's likely some Windows component missing on his system that makes any .chm file with an index tab display a blank tab or causes crashes.
Error Messages consistently mention a problem with:
ModName: itircl.dll
(Sorry rest of the message is in Swedish)
Has anyone heard of this problem and know how to fix it? Should customer just re-register the .dll? Or is something else needed?

Hi there
There are several DLLs that sometimes become corrupt or get clobbered. I think you would be well advised to download MJs Diags from the link below:

Index Tab control in chm in RH7

Can I turn off just the Index tab in RH7?
How do I open the Windows Properties dialog box in RH7?
I am testing upgrading from rh2002 html to rh7.
rh7 help says there should be windows properties dialog box,
similar to the one in rh2002, where there is the TOC&Index
check box, but help doesn't tell you how to open it. The dialog is
no longer accessible via Project Settings. And if I can find this
dialog, is there a way to turn off just the Index tab?
thanks for your help.
JoeC

Greetings.
I have tried to follow the instructions here for generating
an HTML Help CHM using RH7. I can generate a help file without a
TOC and without an Index. What I would like to do is generate a
help file with a TOC but without an Index, without removing all of
the indexed terms.
I was able to turn off the TOC and Index tabs by deselecting
TOC & Index under Tri-pan Tabs and Windows in the Window
Properties (HTML Help) dialog. I want to keep the Index, though. I
have not found a way to do this.
Any suggestions?
Thanks.

How can I get the Index tabs to show for each page that is open in the window like on the older versions. I close a window and it says I have tabs open but the tabs are not visible. How do I set it like the older versions? This was easy to manage

The index tabs were on some kind of toolbar just below the bookmark toolbar and you could see what was open in multiple tabs. I'm not referring to rolling over the Firefox icon for the Windows 7 thing, that's a pain. These index tabs were in plain sight. No matter what I try in Firefox 8, they won't appear.

the tabs were move to above the navigation bar, where the menu bar was. They hardly look like tabs there, but you may have turned off the tabs bars. View (Alt>V) > Toolbars > Tabs Bar
I think the solutions would really prefer though would be
You can make '''Firefox 8.0''' look like Firefox 3.6.*, see numbered '''items 1-10''' in the following topic [http://dmcritchie.mvps.org/firefox/firefox-problems.htm#fx4interface Fix Firefox 4.0 toolbar user interface, problems (Make Firefox 4.0 thru 8.0, look like 3.6)]. ''Whether or not you make changes, you should be aware of what has changed and what you have to do to use changed or missing features.''
* http://dmcritchie.mvps.org/firefox/firefox-problems.htm#fx4interface
<p>There is a lot more beyond those first 10 steps listed, if you want to make Firefox more functional.</p>

What is the index tab in Balance Sheet Revaluation for?

Hi All,
Whenever I put a value in the Index tab in Balance Sheet Revaluation (Consumer Price Index), the revaluated amount in the Balance Sheet becomes the same as the local currency. No matter what amount I put in the Index tab, it is always the same. What is this tab for? Thanks.

Adobe Photoshop CC 2014 Help TAB Photoshop Online Help - LINK IS BROKEN

My Adobe Updater installed Photoshop CC 2014, and all seemed well, until I attempted to get online help via:
Help TAB > Photoshop Online Help
This LINK is apparently BROKEN!
Here is the resulting error on Firefox (version 32.0):
XML Parsing Error: undefined entity Location: jar:jar:file:///C:/Users/Owner/AppData/Roaming/Mozilla/Firefox/Profiles/kaeec5li.default/extensions/[email protected]!/chrome/speedtest.jar!/content/net
Error.xhtml Line Number 369, Column 38:
<h1 id="et_protocolNotFound">&protocolNotFound.title;</h1>
-------------------------------------^
I also attempted to open same link using Chrome, and IE browsers; BOTH browsers we unable to navigate to the Adobe Help!
Here is the supposed LINK URL (via Firefox):
community.adobe.com/chcservices/services/redirect?u=http://help.adobe.com&p=Photoshop_15.0&l=en_US&id=AH_HOME
ADDITIONAL NOTE:
The exact same error is generated when attempting to get online support via:
Help TAB > Photoshop Support Center
Hopefully, someone from the Adobe Tech Community may shed some light on this MAJOR issue, as it precludes users from accessing Online Help and Support!

Hello
I am having exactly the same problem with the French version of Photoshop CC 2014. The only menu item working is "What's new?".
Trying to access online help (F1) takes me to

Very similar to your page except for the language.
This page does not load (error 404).
I was on chat with Adobe support but they did not solve the problem.
I tried to reinstall and also used 3 different browsers (IE - FF - CH).
I have Photoshop installed on 2 different platforms (W7 and W8), same issue.
Were you able to solve your problem?
Pfondaneche, when you press F1, are you just in the main Photoshop window?
When I press F1 I see it go through a quick redirection and within a small fraction of a second it ends up here:
Photoshop Help | Photoshop Help
The specific link you posted does not work for me either, so I'm assuming there's an Adobe server problem somewhere, or maybe a problem with that particular link.
I've noticed Adobe has failed to update a number of its pages for the new Photoshop CC 2014.1 release. For example, where is a new page that describes where Photoshop CC 2014.1 keeps its preference files?

Character display issue in French Web index tab

First of all, I'm working with RoboHelp 8.
There is a character display issue in the index tab of the web help. (See screenshot below)
The apostrophe, instead of displaying by itself, it has a backslash just before it: \'
In the hhk file, I started using the actual apostrophe ('), then replaced it with ' and finally tried '
(The htm files use utf-8 encoding). None of those options seemed to solve the issue.
Any help will be appreciated.

Hi Steve,
Thanks for a very quick response. The problem is that the Title (name of the image filename is also the item number in Quote) and this is always not null. I am not sure how do I test whether the image is present in $OA_MEDIA directory or not. Does BI Publisher provide a way to find out whether an image filename exists in $OA_MEDIA or not.
If there is no such standard way provided by BI Publsher, then I guess I will have to write Java function that executes in the middle tier and returns whether file exists with that name in $OA_MEDIA.
Please let me know your view.
Thanks

Index file not generating

Hi
I am using the RoboHTML trial 9.0 version and imported a previous 8.0 help project file. Everything seems fine except indexing. The project shows having my index file from the previous project but my index file is not generating. How can I use my existing index file and not have to create a new index file?
Please help.
thanks

Disable/Hide Index Tab in WinHelp2000?

Hi folks,
Is there any way to disable/hide the Index tab in WinHelp
2000?
We built a project using RoboHelp for Word (RoboHelp Office
X5) and the team decided they didn't have time to bother with an
index AND they felt the index would be of little value, since there
were tons of duplicate topics (formerly field names) with the same
name (ex: Description, Address, etc). They also didn't feel they
had the time to carefully "scrub" an index built using SmartIndex.
I tried building one using SmartIndex, and it stopped after it got
part way through several hundred Word docs (total of 517) and
several thousand topics (total of 2,680).
With all of the Index keywords stripped out of the project, a
blank index pane looks pretty ugly.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks,
Jim

Colum,
Thanks for getting back to me. I agree - a well done index is
worth it, probably worth more than the full-text search in this
case. Unfortunately, when the help was originally created for the
DOS version of the application, the programmers decided to create
field level help for EVERY field (2,680 total). Since none of these
topics provided any context for which field belonged to which
screen, it's now kind of confusing to go through an index and view
17 different "County" fields from 17 different fields, all with
different descriptions. If I had the chance, I would have
completely changed the goal of the help into something more useful.

Search & Index tabs: double topic titles displayed

In my chm, on the Search and Index tabs, topic titles are
displayed twice. The second instance of these does not display the
topic when clicked; instead the "cannot display" error message is
shown. If there are special characters (ü, ä, ö,
etc) in the topic title these characters are displayed as a
combination of weird symbols.
I cannot find anything wrong with my help project, as far as
I can tell the topics that do not dispay do not exist in the help
project.

All topic titles in the search and index tabs are doubled;
English does not have any special characters but the English
projects are also affected.
The topics which are duplicated are only in my help projects
once.
The problem only seems to be in the chm.
The help projects are in ClearCase source control - could
this be a factor?
I have 2 separate branches of the same projects in ClearCase
and one branch (the original branch) does not have this problem.
The branch that does have the problem was created by copying the
original branch.

Index tab appearing, but no entries are in it.

Hello,
I am using the RoboHelp 6 trial version. I created an index,
and it appears when I generate the WebHelp and view it locally
within RoboHelp. however, I published it to the web, and the index
tab is there, but has nothing in it. What can I do to fix this?
Thanks!
Jennifer Bennett

Has everything in the local output been published? How did
you publish to the server?
Also how many topics in this project?

How to hide Job index tab in PPOME

Guys,
Pls advise how to hide Job index tab in PPOME.
Thanks

Hi,
The job index tab page is IT0783. You can check this through transaction OOFRAMEWORKCUST. In the same transaction, double click on u201CTab Page in Scenario for each Object Typeu201D folder under u201CScenario Definition (Hierarchy Framework)u201D in the left column. The scenario for PPOME is OME0. Look for the entry for OME0 and tab page IT0783 and check the u201Cdo not displayu201D box the last column.
Hope this helps.
p.s. Please search the forum on this topic. There are plenty of threads on PPOME tab page customization.

Remove index tab from tri-pane

Is it possible to remove the index tab from the HTML help
tri-pane window? Thanks!

Hi mk20061. You can suppress the display of the Index AND TOC
tabs but not the index tab on it's own. Go to your window's
properties and deselect the "TOC & Index"option in the Tripane
Tabs & Windows dialog section. The other alternative is to
delete all the index keywords from the project as the index tab is
only displayed if there are keywords to display.

Index tab displays no keywords

RoboHelp for Word Version 5
When RoboHelp broke our Help (images did not display), we rolled back to 5 to meet our deadline and troubleshoot later.
WinHelp works as before; however, now when we compile WebHelp, the Index tab displays no keywords below the word wheel.
When I type in the word wheel, I see some keywords in a popup list, but when I select a keyword, it neither appears in results below nor displays the relevant topics to the right.
Please help.

Hi aecspades and welcome to the RH community.
This could be because the index keywords have not be added to the project's index file. If you go into your project settings (File > Project Settings) you'll find an option there which I bet is set to add keywords to the topics. For the index tab to display you must have keywords added to the HHK file.
