Hi Maxine,

You don't say what the error is, so it's difficult to say anything to help you without that information. All the information generated by Help+Manual during publishing is shown in the Compiler Report, which is displayed automatically when you publish. You can get it again by re-publishing the same PDF.

The error message is genuinely '1 error(s)' and appears on the publishing items page.
But thankyou, coming back from this page opened the compiler message pane, I could see the issue.
But it would be more user-friendly if you could click the error entry and go straight to the compiler or display the message though!

Anyway, thankyou for your help Tim!
