TOC Missing +/- (expand/collapse) boxes

[jd523]

Never seen this before, but my TOC is suddenly missing the +/- expand/collapse topic buttons. Anyone know what the problem is here? TOC is set to binary.

Here are the params from the HHC file:

<object type="text/site properties">
<param name="FrameName" value="_blank">
<param name="WindowName" value="FreeDOM">
<param name="SiteType" value="toc">
<param name="Window Styles" value="0x800002">
<param name="ExWindow Styles" value="0x100">
</object>

Any change to params?

Thanks,

John

Hi John

Is this for .CHM or WebHelp? If it's WebHelp, you need some images. You may obtain some by clicking here.

If it's for compiled .CHM, you need to look at the Single Source Layout properties. Click the Advanced... button, then the TOC Styles tab. Click to enable Lines from Root, then you will be able to choose Plus/Minus Squares.

Hope this helps a smidge... Rick

Hi Rick,

Thanks for your reply. It's compiled Help, .chm. I neglected to mention that I'm working with an ancient version of RH, SO ancient, in fact, that I may be beyond the reach of this forum. I'm running RoboHelp 9.1, as in eHelp's 2001 RH 9.1.

Rick, in my version, the controls that you are speaking of don't exist. : ) ...other ideas?

Thanks again.

Hi John

Hmmm, okay. I think in that version you get to it via Project Settings. Try clicking File > Project Settings and see if you have a tab for the TOC.

Cheers... Rick

I found it. I'm well familiar with the TOC/Project Settings tabs but didn't originally see the Plus/Minus Squares checkbox. Actually, it was inactive. I could only activate it when certain other settings were enabled as well. Anyway, it's fixed. Thanks so much for your help!

Hi again

I could only activate it when certain other settings were enabled as well.

Yep, that's why I said you first have to click the "Lines from Root" check box first!
