PRB: Small Caps Text Unchanged in Windows Help

• Microsoft Windows Software Development Kit (SDK) 3.1

SYMPTOMS

When a help file developed for version 3.1 of Microsoft Windows Help contains non-alphabetic characters formatted with the Small Caps character formatting, the Microsoft Windows Help application displays these characters at normal size.

RESOLUTION

To work around this limitation, change the case of the characters. The following macro for version 2.0 of Microsoft Word for Windows performs this conversion:

   Sub MAIN
   StartOfDocument
   EditFindChar .Font = "", .Points = "", .Bold = - 1, \ 
   .Italic = - 1, .Strikeout = - 1, .Hidden = - 1, .SmallCaps = 1, \ 
   .AllCaps = 0, .Underline = - 1, .Color = - 1, .Position = "", \ 
   .Spacing = ""
   EditFind .Find = "", .WholeWord = 0, .MatchCase = 0, \ 
   .Direction = 1, .Format = 1
   While EditFindFound()
        Size = FontSize()
        Size = Size - 2
        FontSize Size
        SmallCaps 0
        ChangeCase 1
        EditFind .Find = "", .WholeWord = 0, .MatchCase = 0, \ 
        .Direction = 1, .Format = 1
   Wend
   End Sub 

MORE INFORMATION

Although you can still use this help compiler with Windows NT 3.51 and Windows 95, there is a new help compiler 4.0 (HCW.EXE), which should be used instead of the older help compiler.
