Hi

My project is proceeding fairly well, considering I've only been using RH for
about six weeks - thanks, in no small part, to the advice I've found in this
forum. I'm hoping someone can help me with a niggling problem I'm having.

My project is based on a textbook written by my colleagues. RH has
successfully imported all the header formatting from Word and the resulting TOC
is almost perfect. My problem is that my header 1s link to sections of the
book, so I don't have a header that just gives the chapter name. If I do create
these as header 1s they give me a clickable entry in the TOC which leads to a
page with no content.

I'd like to have an entry in the TOC that gives the chapter name but which
isn't clickable, i.e. is only there so users can orient themselves and see what
each section is about.

I thought I could do this by creating a new TOC book in the TOC, but not
linking it to any page. I've done this, saved everything and generated afresh,
but when I view the webhelp layout, the book I just created doesn't appear in
the TOC. Is there a way I can do this?

Thanks in advance.

Colin

Hi Colin.
You may be able to do just this with a bit of wizardry! Check out the
RoboWizard's
http://www.robowizard.com/RoboWizard..._and_Tricks.ht
m file. It has help on how to set-up redirect topics. Create one of these and
assign it to the book. The redirect topic would then just redirect the user to
another topic.

I thought Colin just wanted the book to appear without linking to any topic.

I wonder if you have created a book with no topics below it? The book does not
have to link to a topic but it must contain at least one topic.

Thanks for the speedy response. Both approaches worked, in different ways. I
have gone with Peter's solution. I hadn't realised that books had to be added.
Doing this gave me exactly the functionality I wanted.

Thanks again.
