SYMPTOMS
After you run Microsoft Help Workshop, the text in the title bar for all of your help files may display a number followed by the following text:

  (Help Author On)

This text will replace the title of the help file that normally appears.

CAUSE
The "Help Author" command is provided by the Help Workshop to provide additional authoring information and debugging capabilities. Whenever Help Author is active, the title bar will display the topic number of the currently displayed topic and the "Help Author On" message.

By design, once turned on, Help Author remains active until it is disabled, even if the Help Workshop is no longer running.

RESOLUTION
To disable Help Author, clear the Help Author check box in the Help Workshop's File menu. For the change to take effect, you must exit the Help Workshop.

STATUS
This behavior is by design.

MORE INFORMATION

Under Windows NT and Windows 2000, this setting corresponds to the following entry in the registry:
