>I do not have to use two different software progams to work on help and
>manual. The problems I ran across are indexing, graphics will not convert,
>formatting, and numbering. I fixed the previous three, however, numbering
>is a consistent problem, I have to be very careful when I print. I also
>sent email for the solution to this problem, nobody could fix it.
