8.2.4 Preparing a document
for conversion to WinHelp
To generate WinHelp from a FrameMaker document, observe the following guidelines:
- Keep file names short; very long names might
exceed limits in WinHelp, especially the 64-character limit on lines
in the
.cnt
file. See §2.2 Naming FrameMaker formats for additional
file-name restrictions.
- Provide a conversion template that reduces the size range of headings, and
eliminates page numbers from cross references; see §2.4 Importing formats from a conversion template.
- Avoid using tabs. FrameMaker uses a unique tabbing
scheme, to eliminate the dependency on font metrics that is present in
Word and in WinHelp.
- Provide versions of graphics in BMP or WMF format;
see §5.7 Processing graphics for more information.
