Hello kbuckner -
Yup...sounds like you are calling the generated Help
container file not the the project Start Page (a very common
oversight). You need to define your Start Page and call that file,
not the container file.
RH use a container file to define the layout of your
generated screens (e.g. the frames) but the file does NOT contain
your Help content. So, you need to re-set the Project Properties
and define a Start Page, then call that Start Page.
On the RoboHelp Menu Bar click "File > Generate Primary
Layout (WebHelp)...".
On the WebHelp General - WebHelp window, set the project
Start Page in the "Select Output Folder and Start Page" text box.
We use "index.htm" as our Start Page name and I generate output to
a folder on my desktop. So, my entry in this box is:
C:\Documents and
Settings\myname\Desktop\R2Help\!SSL!\help\index.htm
...where "index.htm" is our Start Page. Note that the
generated page does NOT contain Help information (it is blank).
Next you set/select your "Default Topic" page (self evident).
THAT page contains your default page Help information and is
displayed in the content frame of the generated project.
Click the Finish button then re-generate your project. Launch
the generated project from the Start Page file you named (in my
case "index.htm").
