#### 18.9.7 Making the TOC track index links in HTML Help

If you specify a binary TOC for a stand-alone HTML Help project, you can make the TOC stay synchronized with topics selected via the index. If you intend to merge CHM files, see §18.14.5 Comparing HHW settings for stand-alone vs. merged CHMs.

To make the TOC track topics accessed from the index:

1. Open the .hhp file in HTML Help Workshop.
2. On the Files tab in the Options dialog delete the file name under Index file.
3. On the Files tab in the Window Types dialog, make sure each window you have defined references the .hhk file.
4. Compile the project.

You should notice that you can select any index entry (even entries with mid-topic links) and the TOC will track the topic pane.
