>Has anyone used the HTML Help Workshop from MS for their help files? It's doing something screwy that I don't know how to fix and MS is most unhelpful.

Don't like the workshop. Everything is renamed once again, doesn't give you a single clue about what is what, and moreover, when it offers to convert your old project, it just makes an empty one. Another issue is that it seems to force you to write small HTML files instead of one reasonably big .rtf (which was a pain also, but... just look at the one I've sent you, it's been mostly written by a FPD2.6 prg). This brings up the issue of maintainance of these files. It compiles them into one big .CHM file, but guess what - you open the .chm with IE 3 (well, I did it once and it worked - shown me the actual names of the .html files. Can't reproduce it today, dunno why).

>I also have a general question. Is there any way in HTML to make pop-up windows, kind of like tool-tips, when you hover over part of an image?

Chapter 23: Creating Graphical Help
"Unlike WinHelp, HTML "What's This?" Help is displayed in the full default-sized Help window."

>Since this is only related to VFP in that I'm writing the help file for a program written in VFP, it's probably best to email me if you want to help. :)

I think M$ has done it wrong way this time - simple, any-browser-knows-it HTML would be much better than this only-hh.exe-can-read-me (and it won't work without IE4, or it will, but you won't like it). I'd really prefer writing help in form of simple HTML and implement some browser instantiation technique, than to meddle with the HHWS.

So, I think it should be discussed here. I feel like an idiot, trying to figure out what the hell is the proper way to convert a Winhelp4.0 project into HH, and not getting anywhere near the start.
