Hyperlink BUG in RoboHelp 5 doesn't happen every time
Subject:Hyperlink BUG in RoboHelp 5 doesn't happen every time From:"Tamminga, Ernie" <et -at- DSC -dot- COM> Date:Fri, 7 Nov 1997 09:31:28 -0800
Further re the problem I reported yesterday...
It doesn't happen every time.
I just re-generated the HTML-help, and this time the graphic hotspots
work the way they're supposed to.
Haven't determined why they didn't work last time, so I can't yet offer
any advice on how to avoid the problem.
