TechWhirl (TECHWR-L) is a resource for technical writing and technical communications professionals of all experience levels and in all industries to share their experiences and acquire information.
For two decades, technical communicators have turned to TechWhirl to ask and answer questions about the always-changing world of technical communications, such as tools, skills, career paths, methodologies, and emerging industries. The TechWhirl Archives and magazine, created for, by and about technical writers, offer a wealth of knowledge to everyone with an interest in any aspect of technical communications.
My knee-jerk response is that your co-worker's CHM-creating engine has
gone corrupt. This would be especially true if the same thing happens
on multiple projects. If that's the case, reinstall RoboHelp on her
machine.
This guess assumes that your RH and IE versions are the same. If she's
gotten hold of the IE 7 beta, I'd point the finger in that direction.
