I have C++Builder6 and have recently down loaded service pack 4 and my
opperating system is xp professional.
I am trying to write help files for a program that I am writing. I use
Microsoft Word 2002 and type in:
$# Introduction to....
topic 1
topic 2
topic 3
and save in rich text format.
After buiding a content file and project I try to save and compile. No
errors come up but there are 0 Topics, 0 jumps, 0 Keywords & 0 Bitmaps.
Then I run Winhelp and the window appears but when I click on one of the
topics and errro comes up. "*.rtf file is not a Windows Help file, or the
file is corrupted."
I have been racking my brain and trying various stuff but nothing seems to
help. Am I setting Word up correctly or am I not setting the help workshop
up right. Could someone PLEASE help me with this. My other program is
waiting for me to continue.
Thanks

Use HelpMaker instead, it will do it all for u, and is much easyer to use!

And its FREE!

Are you inserting the $ and # characters as footnote marks?

To insert a footnote mark, select the Footnote command on the Insert
menu, type the required character in the Custom Mark field, and click
OK. Then, in the footnote pane at the bottom of the window, type the
value to associate with the footnote mark (a topic title in the case of
$, and a topic ID in the case of #).
