I use RoboHelp HTML 7.0.3.001 and generate Microsoft HTML Help as the output file of my project. Each time I open generated CHM file, the only default topic is displayed. Then I should click Show button on the toolbar to view the Contents tab containing folders and other topics...

Thanks in advance,
Olga
