The information in this article applies to:

  • Microsoft Windows Software Development Kit (SDK) for Windows versions 3.0 and 3.1

SYMPTOMS

When building a help file, the Help Compiler issues the warning "Using Old Key Phrase Table."

CAUSE

A key-phrase file (a .PH file) exists at compile time.

RESOLUTION

Delete the key-phrase file.

MORE INFORMATION

When the Help Compiler builds a help file and the compression option is specified, it creates a phrase table file with the .PH extension as part of the compilation process. Because creating the phrase table is a time- consuming process, the Help Compiler will issue the "Using Existing Key Phrase Table" warning and use an existing .PH file (if a .PH file is available) instead of creating a new one. This technique minimizes the compilation time for modifications to an existing help file. However, to obtain maximum compression, a new phrase table must be created.
