When Compiled - Output does not display topic content
Not sure how many topics in the project are doing this, but I have a topic that when it is opened in the compiled version of the help (HTML Help and WebHelp) the only text that displays is the snippet that appears at the bottom of every topic in the help project.
The project originally began as a RoboHelp project.
I've recently updated and changed the templates and styles used in the project to a new design.
Currently has 329 topics.
Uses snippets, masterpages, tablestyles, and one stylesheet.
Also, contains 220 images.
PLEASE HELP, this is to go out at the end of the month.

Verify that the topics are associated with the correct masterpage and that the setup of the masterpage is correct.

The Masterpage is associated to the output. Some topics display correctly. Not sure how many don't.
I have accessed it two ways in the output: by performing a search and clicking the topic link in the results and by clicking the link in the TOC. Does not display the content either way.

Oh, and... The masterpage contains two items a "topic body proxy" and a snippet.
The snippet appears in the output, but the topic body is not.

Re: When Compiled - Output does not display topic content
You can have multiple masterpages in a project and associate different topics with the masterpages. Do you have just one masterpage or did you do several masterpages? Although that doesn't really explain why one of the topics that doesn't work still shows the snippet text, since that's part of the masterpage.
I suggest you find a topic that doesn't work and a topic that does work. Open each in the Internal Text Editor or Notepad, and compare the lines of code in both topics from the first line down to the opening <body> tag, and at the bottom of the page from the closing </body> tag to the last line of code.
Also, if you haven't done it already, you might want to clean the output folder before rebuilding.

THANKS
Instead of a beginning and ending Body tag, the topic had Paragraph tags.
