Hi,
I'm updating a help system. So maybe the printed output was set up by the previous writer. But the Word or PDF output has some duplicate topics and/or duplicate titles. And the numbering is really messed up. Is there a way I can fix this in RoboHelp so the output is generated correctly?
You can see that in the setup for the printed content, some of the topics are double. Would I just delete the duplicates? For example, I could delete one of
the Logging In topics? The topic names are different from the titles in the files, so I wouldn't want to delete anything on accident, especially since I don't know how to get to this point with the chapter layout.
OK, here is what's happening with the numbering- Random 1.'s are inserted, then the numbering will continue from the 1., rather than from the proper number, etc.
Thanks for your help!
Erin

As you are in doubt about the print layout, the first thing to do is create a duplicate of the layout and work on that. Just right click it.
In the second page of the wizard you can also view topics by folder and the colour of the icon tells you whether or not a topic is in the document.
I would have thought two topics with the same title in the same book is a bit unlikely and is an error but only you can check that.
It looks like you need to rework those lists. You have a list that runs 1, 2, 3 albeit with the 3 outdented. You could try right clicking and restarting numbering.
You haven't said what version of RoboHelp you are using.

Looks like you have the topic linked to the book and in your print layout you have the book (and thus the topic) plus the topic separately.
