TOC Won't Display in WinHelp

I am updating a WinHelp project that was previously developed
in X3 but which I am now trying to update and compile in RoboHelp 7
for Word. The TOC won't display (i.e., the TOC navigation panel at
the left doesn't display) when the help is launched. When viewing
the TOC in the single panel window by clicking the Help Topics
button, the links do work. There is a CNT file. I tried deleting
the GID file (as suggested by Adobe), and using the old CNT file
that worked in the previous version of the project. Anyone else
experience this with RoboHelp 7?

We're getting the same issue here. We compile - looks great. We copy the hlp and cnt files to another computer and the TOC disappears. We're using RoboHelp for Word and have been since v5. Can anyone help on this? All topics are there; links work, graphics great, but the Table of Contents has vanished.
If I run the AutoGenerate TOC function, the TOC disappears completely from the system. Bear in mind, this is the same file we've been working from for the last 3 years and up until now has been working. We recently updated to v7 and upgraded again to v8 today.
I really appreciate any guidance anyone can give.

  • Bold text in toc won't display

         I've formatted my toc to display titles as bold text but for some reason it will not display all titles as bold text. By the way, it's russian and all lower headings in the screenshot should be bold. I know I have displayed a screenshot for a LOF but it goes for both TOC and LOF. I am aware of the difference in layout methods.

    Hi Peter
    The formatting in LOF is applied by selecting the text on the body page and formatting the paragraph tag for the text to be bold. In the TOC it is formatted by doing the same on the reference page.
    I haven't produced any form of output yet so I do not know how it is displayed. The program crashes when i want to update the book so I need to look into that first.
    I will try your suggestions.
    Thanks

    Hi, Pieter:
    You might not think that the different steps you're using to format the generated entries would cause the difference, FrameMaker can have good reason for working differently.
    Is there a reason for not formatting the prototype line in the LOF on the reference page, rather than on the body page - the same method you use for the TOC?
    When working with FrameMaker's generated files, you need to be keenly aware of which file you're working with. I don't have FrameMaker available at the moment, but I believe it works something like this (it may have changed from older FrameMaker versions to newer ones:)
    * When you create a new generated file FrameMaker creates the generated file's reference page and the corresponding reference page text flow; they are named for the kind of generated file, such as TOC, LOF, etc.
    * I think the location of the reference page and its flow depend on whether you're generating from a stand-alone file, or from a file that belongs to a book. The reference page and flow may be created in the generated file, or in the source file, but not in both.
    * In later FrameMaker versions, I believe the book file is more involved with the processing than in earlier versions. In the more-recent versions, I believe that the output of generated files is taken from the generated-file reference pages and flows in the first file in the book list.
    * If there is a generated reference page and its flow in the source file, and also in the generated file, there's a possible precedence conflict over which settings control the output of the generated file. Formatting properties set in the higher-precedence file will be applied, and those in the lower-precedence file will be ignored.
    Because the TOC is working correctly, follow the same procedure for the LOF. Verify that there reference page and flow are in the same file that works for the TOC - if the TOC reference page is in the TOC itself, then verify that the LOF reference page is in the LOF file, and verify that there's no LOF reference page in any of the source files in your book. If the TOC reference page is in the first file in the book and not in the TOC, then create the LOF the same way.

  • TOC - won't display Heading 2 entries

    Hello,
    I keep trying to generate a TOC with my Heading 1's and Heading 2's. The Heading 1 entries are created just fine, but the Heading 2 entries are just blank lines. A paragraph mark is placed, but no entry. Anyone eer had this problem?
    Thanks for any help.

    Have you checked the reference pages?
    If you don't spot anything there, could you share your reference page and perhaps the definitions for the level 2 heading to help us help you.

  • My iPhone 5 won't display smart text options.

    My iPhone 5 won't display smart text. It did when I initially downloaded the new OS, now those options don't appear at all. Did I click something to make them disappear?
    I went into Settings to see if there was a component of it within Messages. I don't see anything.
    Thoughts please.....
    Thanks much

    You transfer the purchases to the computer you use to sync the iPhone.  You can use a thumb drive or an external HD, etc.  Read this: iTunes for Mac - How to copy purchases between computers:  http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1373

    This could be from having restrictions enabled. Icons completely disappear when "restricted"

  • IMac 2.66 Radeon HD 2600 Pro: some Excel files won't display in ppt decks

    Running Leopard 10.5.8 and MS Office 2004
    Two iMac (8.1) 2.66 GHz with ATI Radeon HD 2600 Pro video won't display some Excel files in PowerPoint decks, but iMac 1.83 GHz Core Duo will display o.k. as will MacBook Pro, MacBook, etc. Installing a trial version of Office 2008, both iMac 2.66 GHz display the PowerPoint files o.k.
    I could downgrade the users to Intel iMac 1.83 GHz, or buy two copies of Office 2008 and support them, neither of which is a great solution.
    Looking for a simple fix or workaround on what seems to be a video card issue. Don't seem to see this problem or a fix on the ATI site. I've googled this but haven't run into a similar issue.

    Well, Office 2008 is only $110 USD at http://www.amazon.com/Microsoft-Office-2008-Home-Student/dp/B000X86ZAS/ref=sr11?ie=UTF8&s=software&qid=1251560959&sr=8-1
    That seems the least expensive solution to me.

  • Difficulty using a projector. I have a MBP 17" and am running 10.6.8. Often I need to make a Powerpoint or other presentation  at a client and I want to connect my computer to their projector. Either it won't display on the projector at all. HELP!

    Difficulty using a projector. I have a MBP 17" and am running 10.6.8. Often I need to make a Powerpoint or other presentation  at a client and I want to connect my computer to their projector. Either it won't display on the projector at all. Once it displayed but the presentation mode was on the big screen and the presentation I wanted to show was on my MBP screen. I have the adapter( white ones) to attached to the projector cables.  I am so frsutrated...it looks so silly not to have a computer work during a presentation..
    Another problem one the rare occasion that it shows on the screen is that the presentation does show just my desk top.  Any ideas?
    Thanks !

    You often have to turn off Mirroring to be able to set the second "screen"s resolution to something reasonable. When you do, the two screens become an "Exceeded Desktop" joined along one edge, and the Arrange pane in displays prefs can allow you to specify what edge. Initially, it will show a vacant extension of the built-in screen's desktop.
    The mouse moves freely across that shared edge, and can allow you to drag the presentation window across to the the projector screen and re-size it to fit.

  • Private Photos App - pictures not displaying This app was working fine, then suddenly it won`t display any of the photos.

    This app was working fine, then suddenly it won't display any of the photos. One day the photos were there, gone the next. It still shows how many photos are there but just shows a white screen. I can't export anything to the photo album. Adding photos to existing folders yields the same result, only white screen displayed. However, I can create new albums and add photos to those without issue. Does anybody know how to recover the "missing" photo"  I was going to try reinstalling the app but it's no longer available in the iTunes App Store. Thanks, Tracy

    1, you can't at the moment, though with iOS 5 in the Autumn, from http://www.apple.com/ios/ios5/features.html#photos :
    Even organize your photos in albums — right on your device
    2, by removing it from you synced from and re-syncing. Only photos taken with the iPad, copied to it via the camera connection kit, or saved from emails/websites etc can be deleted directly on the iPad (either via the trashcan icon in the top right corner if viewing the photo in full screen, or via the icon of the box with the arrow coming out of it in thumbnail view)
    3, the location of the photos that you synced to the iPad should be listed on the iPad's Photos tab when connected to your computer's iTunes.
    4, you can copy the photos from your iPad to your computer : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4083 . You should also be able to delete them from the iPad as part of the transfer process to your computer, and it's then your choice whether to add them to your sync photo list so as to copy them back to the iPad. Copying them to your computer would allow you to organise them into folders and therefore be able to sync them back into separate albums.
    5, I don't use Dropbox either. There are some third-party browser apps in the iTunes App Store that allow you to download pages so that you can view them when offline e.g. Atomic Web (the whole page is saved within Atomic Web, it doesn't place a photo into the Photos app)
    6, deleting content should help. If you remove an app from your iPad then you also remove the content that it's got on the iPad - so if you then decide to reinstall it back onto the iPad then you will need to manually add back any content that you want in it. None of the Apple built-in apps (including Photos) can be removed from the iPad

  • Database field won't display

    I'm new to Crystal Reports in .NET but I do have my 1st report working except for one field that I'm trying to use in a sub report.  It's in my database fields just like the other field for the sub report.  I can see data for both fields in the Browse Data.  One field and it's heading display just fine but I can't see the other one anywhere.  The field heading that's created when I drag it into the Detail area won't display in the report either.  I've tried deleting the field and readding it but nothing helps.  As far as I know I've done nothing to suppress this field from printing.  I REALLY need to get this working.  Thanks for your help.

    Hello Paul,
    I recommend to post this query to the [.NET Development - Crystal Reports|SAP Crystal Reports, version for Visual Studio; forum.
    That forum is monitored by qualified technicians and you will get a faster response there.
    Also, all Crystal Reports .NET Development queries remain in one place and thus can
    be easily searched in one place.
    Thanks a lot,
    Falk

  • HP Photosmart Plus B210a all-in-one won't display any networks in the list.

    Hi, I recently purchased a HP Photosmart Plus all in one printer and I've been having trouble with it from day one.
    First off, it won't connect wirelessly.
    It won't display any networks in the list when searched for, it won't take my network details when I manually input them and it won't take any static IP address I've tried from other suggestions.
    Secondly, the print quality is very bad. Streaks and fading are occuring and after using up 70% of my ink trying to sort it out through troubleshooting it's still bad.
    It's extremely important for me to be able to have web access using the printer as all members of my household use it and it'll get fustrating having to car laptops and computers around to print.
    Can anybody help at all?

    Top line says "The wireless radio is not functioning. Contact HP support"
    I take this as a very bad sign and needs replacing?
    The tests I done produce streaks, fading and lines. I printed off two photos, one from a memory card and one from a scan. The memory card produced heavy blocked lines of color and the scan was just dull.
    I'm using a Wanadoo Wireless Livebox and Windows 7 64 Bit
    One other question... is this like a brilliant printer for photos mainly? I'm a Graphics design student and although my final prints are made from home I would like accurate and decent printouts for my portfolios. Should I keep this or go for another one with similar features and better print quality?

  • Over half my albums in iPhoto won't display the enlarged photo. How can I correct this?

    Over half my albums in iPhoto won't display the enlarged photo. How can I correct this?

    There are several possible causes for the Black Screen issue
    1. Permissions in the Library: Back Up and try rebuild the library: hold down the command and option (or alt) keys while launching iPhoto. Use the resulting dialogue to rebuild. Include the option to check and repair permissions.
    2. Minor Database corruption: Back Up and try rebuild the library: hold down the command and option (or alt) keys while launching iPhoto. Use the resulting dialogue to rebuild.
    3. A Damaged Photo: Select one of the affected photos in the iPhoto Window and right click on it. From the resulting menu select 'Show File (or 'Show Original File' if that's available). (On iPhoto 11 this option is under the File -> Reveal in Finder.) Will the file open in Preview? If not then the file is damaged. Time to restore from your back up.
    4. A corrupted iPhoto Cache: Trash the com.apple.iPhoto folder from HD/Users/Your Name/ Library/ Caches...
    5. A corrupted preference file: Trash the com.apple.iPhoto.plist file from the HD/Users/ Your Name / library / preferences folder. (Remember you'll need to reset your User options afterwards. These include minor settings like the window colour and so on. Note: If you've moved your library you'll need to point iPhoto at it again.)
    If none of these help: As a Test:
    Hold down the option (or alt) key key and launch iPhoto. From the resulting menu select 'Create Library'
    Import a few pics into this new, blank library. Is the Problem repeated there?

  • Layered text and graphic in Word won't display when converted to PDF

    I have several simple shapes with text layered in front in my Word document. After they are converted to PDF using Acrobat XI, only the shape will display. I can tell the text is still there, because I can use my cursor tool to select it, but it won't display visually. It looks like it isn't there but it really is. One bit of text is even an internal link, and the link still works but I can't see the text I'm clicking on.
    If anyone has any suggestions I'd appreciate it.
    Thank you,

    Hi Lori - this was perfect! It was an issue with the layers being misordered. I used the Edit Text & Images tool listed under Tools > Content Editing, found the layers, then by right-clicking I was able to bring the text to the front and it all looks great now.
    I would like to know why this happened, or if not why, how I could make sure it doesn't happen again. If there's a check box or other setting I could use to remove this problem that would be fantastic.
    Thank you so much for pointing me in the right direction!
