Chunking FM files into Topics for RH

[Carol J. Elkins]

Nancy, consider creating markers for all headings, regardless of 
whether you plan to use them or not. Let RoboHelp break them into 
topics. Then in your RoboHelp TOC and browse sequences, just include 
the topics that you want. Yes, the unwanted ones will go along for 
the ride when the file is generated, but users won't know they are 
there because neither the TOC nor the browse sequence uses them.
