Unfortunately it is Winhelp, which we are actually moving away from using. In the interim we are using RoboHelp as a browser to display another type of help so the index and search tabs are not needed. I already removed the cnt and all it removed from the output was the table of contents. The Index and Search are still there, but empty.

Hi again

Thanks for the additional information. But that unfortunately spawns a new question. What is your output?

If it's WinHelp (the only reason I can fathom anyone would be using RoboHelp for Word) I believe you simply omit the CNT file, but it's been eons since I've used RH for Word and done that, so I am likely wrong.

If it's WebHelp, you have options that govern whether the tabs are present. You get to these using the Single Source Layout dialog. (Well, you do in RoboHelp HTML anyway so I guess RH for Word may be different)

Hopefully this helps. If I'm wrong about some of this stuff (which I could be) hopefully someone that is more familiar with RH for Word will chime in and offer more help.

Cheers... Rick
