- I have experienced the *exact* same problem. I've noticed that if I
- delete the line, then retype "{bml printer.bmp}" it works. Until I
- read the file back into Word and save it. Then it does not work, and
- I get the text "{bml printer.bmp}".
-
- I examined the .rtf file and word is doing some funny translating or
- filtering or something.
-
- Any suggestions would be appreciated since I'm currently retyping all
- my {bmc}'s every time I change my help file!
