Topics do not position correctly in topics pane or the wrong topics display

In a WinHelp 2000 project, a few topics, including the default topic, do not position at the top of the topics pane when the link is clicked in the TOC. The topic heading is a few lines above the top of the pane so that the first line displayed is in the body of the topic text. Please see the attached screen captures. The default topic is entered correctly in Project > Single Source Layouts > WinHelp 2000 > Properties.

Other links in the TOC display topics that are incorrect.

These problems seemed to occur only after upgrading to RoboHelp 7.

Hide Search Tab

Is there a way to suppress the display of the Search tab in a WinHelp 2000 project? I'm using RH 7.0 for Word.

RTF corruption with conditional tags in RH 7.0.3

forums_noreply@adobe.com — Mon, 03 Aug 2009 22:14:15 GMT

I get RTF file corruption errors when compiling a project to WinHelp 2000 layout in RH 7.0.3 with conditional build tags on topics. The problem also occurred earlier under X5, but upgrading to 7.0 cured (ignored?) the problem. Now I've installed three RH patch releases--7.0.1, 7.0.2, and 7.0.3--and the problem is back.

I've tried removing the RTF files and resaving and compiling. I've also tried to open the project outside RH in MS Help Workshop and saving and compiling. Nothing helps. The error messages include "jumps to undefined topic IDs" in about 20 places all over three of the four project files. They aren't in any particular sequence, and it's impossible, for me anyway, to tell where the RTF corruption begins.

When I turn off the conditional build expression, the project compiles without errors. Does this make any sense??
