Invisible-Topics-Listbox empty

Hi,
I'm using Help&Manual Trial 3.1.0645.
I've done an import of a large hpj-project (created by Doc2Help 3.0) (about 1300 topics) and there where no errors. The Invisible-Topics-Listbox is empty but when clicking into the regarding helptext is shown. I can also do a 'sort' (popup-menu) without exceptions. When scrolling (with pgup, pgdw) from beginning to end there are only topics from letter 'S' to 'Z', but there should be a lot of others. The vertical scroll-bar is missing.
Importing a small project, the topics are present!

Could this be a problem of the used component?

my system: WinXP-Italian, OfficeXP-ital

regards

Anton Santa

Haven't seen something like this myself but then I almost never import HPJ projects, and when I do they're quite small. However, I think you might have problems if the HAT you used to generate your HPJ produced some kind of non-standard output, particularly in the RTF files.

You might want to try performing "Repair and Recover..." on the new Help & Manual project (it's in the Tools menu), this might help. Otherwise you'll have to wait for someone with a little more experience here...

Tried to "Repair" but still the same problem.
Previously I changed the .rtf regarding the .hpj within Word and saved it. Now I've done a new import with the original .rtf and all seems ok.
Thank you for the prompt answer.

Good to hear it. RTF files are sensitive beasts and small changes can have annoying consequences...

Bad news:
I've done an import of another project where the .rtf was not modified and had the same problem.

Good news:
when undocking the "Table of contens"-window the items appear. Seems to be a 'refreshing-problem' when containing a lot of items.

Hmmm...

Alexander will probably get onto it in a day or so -- I know he's pretty busy at the moment.
