The Search function in my CHM help file does not work
I have compiled a help project as a CHM help file, but when I enter a keyword on the Search tab, it does not find any topics in the help file despite the topics actually contain text that matches the keyword.

How can I delete all unused images in my project?
.CHM help file does not display the topic content
I have created a .CHM help file and copied it to our network, so my co-workers could check it out.
However, when they open the .CHM file, they can see the list of topics on the Contents tab (i.e. in the TOC), but not the content of the topics. When clicking on any topic, no content is displayed on the right side.
What am I doing wrong?
Hidden topic is still accessible via Search tab
I've hidden a topic by selecting the "Hidden" option in the topic properties dialog.
In the compiled help file, the topic is not visible in the Contents tree, but I can still access it via the Search tab.
How can I fix this?
