We are working with a Japanese translation of a document and trying to generate WinHelp using WebWorks Publisher. As you know WWP uses Frame and converts the files to MIF. During this conversion process all the text of our index markers are not kept in Japanese, as we would expect, but are converted to something else, effectively hosing our index in our generated WinHelp... Garbage in-->Garbage out. 

We are using Frame 6.0 with the latest updates installed on Win2000 Professional. Any thoughts?
