I agree with this. I used WordPerfect for Windows for about half a year and
wrote three or four help files. I regularly had problems with this. For
example, many times I indented text a certain way and would find that the
text in Windows Help didn't look like what I wrote. I tried making all my
topic headings blue and found that some where blue and some remained black.
I eventually discovered that the order of the codes to turn bold on and
to change to blue makes a difference. Also, it took me longer than it should
have to figure out how to make footnotes with K, $, # and so on.

About the time of the WP4W interim release I decided to switch to Word for
Windows 2.0a. What a difference! I no longer have problems with my help 
files. Creating footnotes is much easier. Typing hidden text for jump terms
is much easier than dealing with comments in WP4W.
