Firstly happy new year to all

I am having an issue with a generated microsoft help file which is causing the expand buttons on the TOC to disappear.  The help file works as expected apart from this irritation.  Here is a screen shot of the dodgy TOC:

I would appreciate any help on this as I'm a bit stumped.

Thanks,

James

This is controlled by an option in your single source layout properties. Click on the Edit button next to the "Advanced Settings" field. In there, click on the TOC Styles tab and select the "Plus/Minus Squares option. If this is unavailable, select the "Lines from Root" option.

Hi James and happy new year to you also. Can you tell us what you mean by the "expand" button. From the screenshot you've provided I see nothing wrong.

In previously generated help text I see a plus button next to each folder as shown in the following image:
