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
