TCS: Frame to Robo Cross Refs: Conversion Unpredictable

[Alan Houser]

Hi Keith,

I've seen this myself. Very frustrating, and I was never able to 
determine a root cause. I wound up editing the RoboHelp HTML output to 
remove the page numbers.

If you uncover any additional clues or find a solution, please share.
