SUMMARY

RTF source files for the Windows version 3.1 Help compiler cannot be created using Microsoft Works for Windows version 2.0.

MORE INFORMATION

Microsoft Works for Windows 2.0 is not capable of formatting text using the "hidden" character attribute. This particular attribute is used by the Windows Help compiler to signify jumps to context strings. Because jumping to context strings is critical in a help file, Microsoft Works for Windows 2.0 cannot be used to create the RTF source files for the Windows Help compiler.
