I wonder if Ms. Cascio either upgraded to Word 97 from Word 95 and
the
installer neglected to delete the VBA librarires, or still has a
program on her PC that uses the VBA libraries. Either possibility
might allow RH4 to function.
FWIW, we're considering help systems, have an older v. of RH, and
Blue
Sky *still* won't send us a demo. v. of the new RH suite. At least
Wextech's Doc-to-Help offers both the future potential to become
Framemaker-friendly *and* works cooperatively with a shareware help
system generator for the Mac.
Please, no questions on this--no time this month...check out the
appropriate web sites for more info.

How very odd. I have version 4.00.040, and it's definitely not
compatible with Word 97. If I open a project in Word 97, it tries to
convert the macros, which are all in WordBasic, not VBA, and then
chokes and brings up the debugger.
I wonder if there were two versions of 4.0, perhaps.
