Dunno, Michelle. I tried to duplicate your situation. I set up a ROBOHelp
project with three topics (Topic One, Topic Two, Topic Three) and assigned
MAP IDs 1, 2, and 3 respectively to them. I compiled the file, then went
back into it. I edited the MAP ID for Topic One and changed it to 4. Then
I edited the MAP ID for Topic Two and changed it to 1. No problem.
First, thanks for taking the time to respond in such detail. I sincerely
appreciate it. Unfortunately, neither of the two options works because
of this fundamental release problem. Let's say I have two topics. One
Map ID (which I incorrectly referred to earlier as Topic ID - sorry
about that) is 100, and the other is 200. However, because of PD issues,
I need 100 to be 150, and I need 200 to be 100. So I change 100 to 150,
but Robo won't let me change 200 to 100 because it says it's already
assigned to a topic (IOW, it's still hanging on to what is now topic
150). How do I get Robo to have 150 let go of the 100 Map ID? If I do a
report of IDs, it doesn't show up, but when I run a Diagnostic Report,
it shows that both Map IDs are assigned to that one topic.
Fortunately, the Word option is already unchecked, so I haven't been hit
by that bug (but it's good to know for future reference!).
