A problem with WebWorks - losing text when generating .chm file.

Has this ever happened to you? You create a FrameMaker file that looks 
exactly like you want, but when you generate the "online help"-type file 
with WebWorks, certain character strings don't show up in the generated 
.chm file. This problem is exclusive to character strings of two or more 
UPPERCASE letters, and it seems to sometimes "gobble up" adjacent 
characters. So, for example, 
"... or USB Flash drives"
might become 
"... oFlash drives".

 We've been working around the problem by putting other characters (such 
as thin spaces) between letters, but this is obviously not a long-term 
solution ... just wanted to ask if this has been encountered by others, 
and if anyone can point me to any discussions thereof. 

I'm working with FrameMaker 6.0 and WebWorks 7.0.5.1025 

Thanks, 
Peter
