Hi LarEpp,
Welcome to the forum, and sorry it's taken so long for you to
get a response to your query!
When you say that the topic is not selected in the left view,
do you mean that it is not selected in the TOC?
If the answer is "Yes" then it is quite easy to fix. Select
the Project tab of your RoboHelp project. Under
Windows, right-click on the name of your window and select
Properties. In Tri-pane Options near the bottom left, make
sure you select the
Auto-synchronize TOC option. Recompile your help file and
try opening it again. The selected topic should be highlighted in
the TOC.
Good luck
Anne
