Thanks again to Steve and Bruce for their help. I didn't manage to totally =
figure it out myself - I ended up deleting the section where the big=20
errors started, and then it would compile. I also had to replace most of=20
the internal hyperlinks, as they had been created but not correctly=20
linked. I had been given an early version of the document without=20
realising it....=20
Anyway, the author ended up having to investigate what he'd done, as he'd=20
been working on his version of the file after giving me a copy ...=20
apparently there was a corrupt/bad/incorrect bookmark in the section where =
the errors were starting, and that's what was causing the problem.=20
Thanks,
KT

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=20
problem=3D20
is between the keyboard and chair.=3D20
I am trying to use HDK to convert a Word doc to CHM. This is somewhat=3D20
unusual, as we normally use HDK to create .htm and .hlp files (so I'm=3D20
OKish with those processes). But now I have to convert to CHM and I=20
can't=3D20
figure out how I am breaking it. The staff member who used to do this=3D20
retired a few months ago and I can't find any information specific to=3D20
converting to CHM in the documented processes. The Word doc is about=20
100=3D20
pages long, with inserted bitmaps (don't have the originals) and almost=3D20
3MB.
So, I'm in Word, I click the HDK icon, select a CHMTOC template to convert =
=3D
with. HDK/Word then spends 20 minutes or so trying to convert to CHM. A=3D20
ten page error file is produced - together with a CHM. About 5-6 topics in =
=3D
to the CHM's TOC, every page is empty (there's a TOC entry, but you=20
click=3D20
on it and the page is blank). The only error I can find that seems to=3D20
relate to where the content goes missing is:
Page break encountered before next HDK topic field; Extra page break in=3D20
document; Remove page break after <topic>.
The page break in question is an automatic one as the following style is a =
=3D
heading 1, which inserts a page break before it.=3D20
I then get a bunch of disk space errors, no project in root directory=3D20
errors, access denied errors.=3D20
Can anyone see something obvious that I am not doing and need to do?
