Keyword problems

  • Hello,

    One of our customer is using Doc-To-Help 2009 .2.0.480 to create Help files from Word 2007 documents.

    There are plenty of keywords starting with a # characters. The style used is Heading 2, but there are no "Auto-Index" selected.

    We checked the paragraph and it has nothing special...

    So, for example, the title "fmPrint" in the document generates a keyword "#fmPrint". When we remove it from the Keyword list it is always regenerated. We didn't find anything in the word document (field codes, hidden text, ...)

    Note: We realized that it happens only when generating a WinHelp file  

     

     Any idea?

    Best Regards,

    Eric

     

     

  • Hi Eric,

    I had the same problem and found the following:

    The # appeared whereever I had manually assigned a keyword and an identical index-entry at the same time.

    The # did not appear when the keyword was different from the index.

    My solution consisted of revising all headings with identical keyword and index-entries in the source documents. You need to highlight the text and delete the formatting completely to get rid of the "C1H Index"-formatting, then apply the correct format (e.g. Heading 1, 2, ...)

    Hope this helps

    Regards

    Chris
