Kathy J. Nguyen asked:
| I was wondering if anyone has found a fix for super-scripted numbers for
| help projects created in RoboHelp.
|
| The problem I am having is that in Microsoft Word, if I super-script or
| raise a digit in any of my help topics, when I compile, the
| number does not
| appear raised in my help project.
|
| If anyone has any ideas on this phenomenon, please feel free to respond to
| me directly.
You've run into a limitation of WinHelp that is not at all specific to
RoboHELP. WinHelp does not display sub- or superscripted text. Unless you
want to create bitmap graphics with all your sub- and superscripts (which
would be a real pain!), you'll need to find another way to achieve what
you're trying to achieve.
