i've tried to create a simple RTF file with MS Word 2003, but it doesn't display on the right-pane of WIHU: it shows garbled characters instead.

Maybe it's because of a non-standard implementation of RTF by Word2k3, i dunno... :}

Which app do you suggest to write WIHU-compliant RTF files?

MS Word 2003 is ok, but please note, use UTF-8 or ANSI, no UNICODE characters.
If this isn't the problem, please send me your rtf file.

OMG, now it's running! :huh:

I got it:

- BEFORE, i right-clicked -> New... -> MS Word document, and instantly renamed it to "help.rtf", and finally double-clicked it for editing.
This does NOT create an RTF file, but a DOC file with RTF extension!

- NOW, i opened Word, File -> New, edited, File -> Save as... -> RTF document.

Everything OK.

Thankyou!

I am now creating an rtf file for each item... but only thing I get, if I select an item, is the titel of the rtf file... so for MSN messenger I created msn.rtf... now in the helpsection I only see:

MSN Messenger

msn.rtf


What goes wrong?

added the rtf file (it contains a picture but also without picture it doesn't work) and my ini.
Also have an rtf for Skype... with a picture in it.. same problem, also without.

I open Word XP, type 1 line of text and add a small picture, then save as RTF file.

You have to use help.x not helptext.x. With helptext.x you may directly specify the helptext.
