SYMPTOMS
When you use the HTML Help Workshop to convert a Winhelp project to an HTML Help project, bitmaps in the .rtf files are not transferred to the HTML Help .htm files.



CAUSE
This problem is caused by a bug in the conversion software that causes only linked bitmaps, and not embedded bitmaps, to be converted.



RESOLUTION
To avoid this problem, the bitmap must be in a separate .bmp or .wmf file that has been included in the .rtf document through the use of the {bmc}, {bml}, or {bmr} code or an INCLUDEPICTURE field. The conversion software does not recognize bitmaps that were embedded in the .rtf document through the &quot;Insert Picture&quot; command or that were pasted from the clipboard, for example.



STATUS
Microsoft has confirmed that this is a bug in the Microsoft products that are listed at the beginning of this article.
