How do I set a topic to be the first page shown?

I have a project with multiple assemblies. I created an Introduction topic to describe each of the assemblies and the product in general. I put the topic as the first item in the Table of Contents. When I generate the output, such as web help, the Table of Contents shows the Introduction first in the TOC, but displays the Overview page for the first assembly in the man documentation frame. How can I identify the Intro topic as the content to display initially in the man window?

  There is a set Default Page button but it can only select either a conceptual topic or reference documentation topic.  Do not put an prospective default html page in the other files area.

  Hi there - I'm picking up this thread 3 years after it was written... and the software must have changed since. I'm using HS 2011 - where do I find this 'set default page' command ?

  Thans for your assistance

  You can find it on the Settings page in the Build Profile editor. It's only on the Project Quick Start page that opens when you open your project.

  Right Richard - much to my embarrassment I finally stumbled on it and had managed to change the settings. Thanks all the same for your excellent support  :)
