Change the style def to kill the page break after. Kill all temp files and
defrag your disk. Move the project root up to disk root to reduce pathname
lengths. Kill any old "Help" directories and their contents. Retry.

Hi all,
I am having some grief with HDK, and I am fairly certain that the problem=20
is between the keyboard and chair.=20
I am trying to use HDK to convert a Word doc to CHM. This is somewhat=20
unusual, as we normally use HDK to create .htm and .hlp files (so I'm=20
OKish with those processes). But now I have to convert to CHM and I can't=20
figure out how I am breaking it. The staff member who used to do this=20
retired a few months ago and I can't find any information specific to=20
converting to CHM in the documented processes. The Word doc is about 100=20
pages long, with inserted bitmaps (don't have the originals) and almost=20
3MB.
So, I'm in Word, I click the HDK icon, select a CHMTOC template to convert =
with. HDK/Word then spends 20 minutes or so trying to convert to CHM. A=20
ten page error file is produced - together with a CHM. About 5-6 topics in =
to the CHM's TOC, every page is empty (there's a TOC entry, but you click=20
on it and the page is blank). The only error I can find that seems to=20
relate to where the content goes missing is:
Page break encountered before next HDK topic field; Extra page break in=20
document; Remove page break after <topic>.
The page break in question is an automatic one as the following style is a =
heading 1, which inserts a page break before it.=20
I then get a bunch of disk space errors, no project in root directory=20
errors, access denied errors.=20
Can anyone see something obvious that I am not doing and need to do?
