Tech Comm Suite--FM TOC not importing properly

[Guest]

I just returned from an extended (6-week) break and found that none of the issues I was having with the new Tech Comm Suite were resolved while I was away. Since I cannot seem to find any posts concerning these issues, I am assuming that these my concerns are due to user error. Here is a summary of what I have been doing and the results I get.

When I add a FM book to a RH project and specify to Convert the FM TOC and creating a new associated TOC, my new TOC in RH results in a list of topics all at the same level (no books or sub-books based on the original format of the FM TOC as promised). My FM TOC does contain definite differences in indent, size and weight of the various heading levels, but these are not carried through to my help project. Am I missing some key setting or style mapping trick?

I hope someone can help me with this...I really don't want to have to manually format the TOC everytime I update the help project!!!

Thanks Much--
Kim

Has anyone else run into this issue when using the Tech Comm Suite to single source?

I'm afraid the lack of replies stems from: 1) the Tech Comm Suite is still new; and 2) the Tech Comm Suite (and FM) is used by very few outfits. (I know I haven't seen FM since 1995!)

Good luck,
Leon

Please ensure the following

1. The styles you used to generate TOC in FrameMaker are also used for pagination in RoboHelp. Are you using the same styles?
2. Ignore autonumbering for the styles you are using for pagination. If you are using the option "Convert Autonumbering to HTML lists" and you have not selected "Ignore Autonumbers", RoboHelp will consider the style as HTML list style.

If both of the above are valid, please mail me a sample TOC in FrameMaker (vivekj at adobe dot com).
