This article was previously published under Q141456 SYMPTOMS
Pressing the F1 key on a compiler error or warning in the output window
does not bring up help for the error unless the caret is positioned on the
error number. If there is no match in Books Online for the word the caret
is on, a message similar to this appears:
The keyword "<keyword>" was not found.
Choose OK to see the closest match to "<keyword>" in the Visual
C++ Books Online 4.0 keyword index.
RESOLUTION
To view the help text for an error message, make sure the caret is on the
error number, and then press the F1 key.
STATUSThis bug was corrected in Microsoft Visual C++, version 6.0.
