Subject:Doc-To-Help runtime error message From:"Peter van Staveren" <mekong_holland -at- hotmail -dot- com> To:TECHWR-L -at- LISTS -dot- RAYCOMM -dot- COM Date:Thu, 25 May 2000 07:43:23 PDT
Hi all,
I have a technical problem in D2H that someone may have encountered before.
If anyone has a clue,
your help will be greatly appreciated.
Background info
Word97 US
Doc-To-Help 2000
target: Help for Windows95
I've created a help project and inserted a Word doc as described in the
documentation that comes
with D2H. First, I used insert file to do this. After starting Build Into
Help, the following message
appears:
Runtime error 5900
The property is not allowed for character styles
Then I started a new help project, but I inserted the document into the help
project via the clipboard.
I got the same error message.
The original document contained character styles. As an experiment I can
replace them with default
paragraph font, but in the end I do need the additional formatting.
A portion of the document that I inserted was once saved in Word 2000. Can
this be the cause of
the problem?
Thanks in advance,
Peter van Staveren
