Summary:
PROBLEM ID: WIN9012021
SYMPTOMS
When a help file is viewed in Windows Help version 3.0, text
formatting is inconsistent with the source text as viewed in the
word processor. Specifically, the area of text with a given format
"bleeds" or extends beyond the boundary set in the word processor.
CAUSE
If the format of the text in a glossary pop-up box or of a context
jump differs from the text that immediately follows the hidden-text
context string, the Windows Help compiler ignores the change in
text formatting.
RESOLUTION
Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in the Help Compiler
version 3.0 which is distributed with the Windows Software
Development Kit version 3.0. To work around this problem, format a
white-space character (a space, a tab, or a carriage return) that
follows the context string to have the same format as the text
before the context string.
This problem was corrected in version 3.10.445 of the Windows Help
Compiler distributed with the Windows Software Development Kit
version 3.1.
