additional topic being created on import and topic overwrite

[edu_Kate]

Our documentation is authored in Word 2010, imported into roboHelp HTML V8 and generated into the FlashHelp layout.

Our Topics (in roboHelp) are created based on Heading 1 (a stylesheet item in Word).

For a Word document that say contains only 1 topic (and therefore one Heading 1) when imported (into roboHelp) it is creating 2 topics eg. Topic_name.htm and Topic_name1.htm.

The topic with the 1 appended to the end normally contains the documentation and the other (without the 1 appended to the end) is empty but looks like it contains a single column and row table.

I have no idea why it is doing this or how to stop it ... it is completely destroying the overwriting of existing topics and hyperlinks.

Please help me!!

This is not something I have seen reported so we are feeling our way in the dark.

Check the Heading 1 style is not set to have a page break before it. If that is not it then send me a document that you have tested to ensure it creates this problem. See the Contact page on my site. It's OK to attach the document to the email. Please include a link to this thread.

I have deleted your original post. RoboHelp for Word is a separate application.
