- Sorry to say, I do not have the answer ... I have another problem related
- to help.
-
- When I compile, I get errors for some of the jumps that the compiler can't
- resolve. So I edit the rtf file and retype the hidden text and recompile.
- Those specific jumps are now resolved (the compiler doesn't complain) but
- now it finds new jumps that it can't resolve. Yet it resolved them on the
- first pass!!! I have taken a floppy into our local MS offices but they
- have not had a chance to look at it yet. I'm running V2.0 of Word and V3.00a
- of the help compiler. Any suggestions?
