Inserting pictures in a CHM file

[Fred Russell]

With the HTML Help Workshop from MS, I'm trying to add pictures to some of
my pages with mixed results. Small pictures seem to work ok but larger ones
(>500 kb) don't. After compiling the help file, the frame is present with
no picture.

Can anyone help?

Best regards,
Fred

Fred,

What tool are you using to create your topics? If it's Word, you need
to filter out the Office-specific markup that Word adds to documents
saved as Web pages. See this article for more information:

By the way, the best newsgroup in which to post Help-related questions
is probably microsoft.public.helpauthoring
(news://msnews.microsoft.com/microsoft.public.helpauthoring).

Thanks Pete, that answers a lot of my questions!

The heads-up on the help authoring group is much appreciated.

Best regards,
Fred
