I try to create help-files from MS-Word documents that contain fairly 
straightforward formatting (bold,superscript, etc.), tables and embedded 
equations.  I guess all this gets taken care of when I save the document as 
an rtf-file, since the document looks alright when I read it back into 
Word.  However, tables, equations and even sub- and superscripts are not 
properly translated into the help file after compiling (I use the help 
compilers the came with the professional editions of VB1.0 and VB2.0).  Any 
ideas of how to preserve the formatting would be appreciated.
