Are you guys down to editing a single document? I was about to decompile the 3.8.15 HLP to get the RTF and HPJ, with the intent of editing the RTF in Word 2K. There are several solutions for converting RTF to HLP, CHM, and HTML. This path would conserve your context-sensitive topic ID's. I figured out a way to use the RTF for printing too: Just change the footonote font style to invisible.
If I wait until David finishes (I assume that's who you're responding to) we'll be losing a lot of time. I suggest putting working copies up at Yahoo. That way if very different ideas emerge that would involve a lot of reediting, we can discuss which way to go before doing a lot of useless work and backtraking. Also, as I'm handy with regex and stuff I could do a lot of routine changes fast without David having to do them by hand. All he has to do is upload his latest edit and give me the word. He can continue to edit while I do the search/replace, then he can just merge my changes in with the Track changes/accept all changes command. I'm sure this sort of collaboration can have many more labor-saving and quality-enhancing efects. We have to version-number the files we post, though. We can start with 0.0.0. BTW Office XP's RTF files should be no worse than Word 2K. In any case, the PowerPro doc or help use no advanced RTF features so you won't see any problems there. -----Original Message----- From: brucexs [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Wednesday, June 16, 2004 4:55 AM > > I assume Help is primary (meaning: where there are Yes. > By the way, the newest topic "Maintaining Configuration > using Text Files" is listed in the Contents of .hlp > but not in the Contents of .chm (the topic does exist > in .chm though, if you search for it).

No. I hope to email you the files by this weekend (20th). After you are done, I will turn over the Hakki. ------------------------ Yahoo!
