Subject:Re: numbered lists, bullets in RoboHelp 4.0 From:Walter Jones <WalterJ -at- TRITECH -dot- COM> Date:Wed, 5 Nov 1997 09:53:55 -0800
I use automatic numbered and bulleted lists extensively in RH 4 with
Word 7. I haven't encountered a SINGLE problem, and the complied help
files turn out just fine, every time. If people do experience problems
with automatic lists, then they have something setup incorrectly on
their system.
I get along very well with Word 7 and RoboHelp. I can't wait to try out
RH 5.
