WD2000: Error Message: The RTF File .\<File Name> Is Corrupted at Offset... (211605)
The information in this article applies to:
This article was previously published under Q211605 SYMPTOMS When you attempt to compile a Word 2000 Rich Text Format
(RTF) file in the Help Compiler that ships with Microsoft Visual C++ 4.0 or the
Microsoft Visual C++ 4.02 Help Workshop, the following error messages may
appear: HC4002: Warning: The RTF file .\<file
name> is corrupted at offset <###>
HC4005: Warning:The .\<file name> help file has not been created.
CAUSE Word 97 and Word 2000 write a few new RTF flags. The older
Help Compilers do not correctly discard the new RTF flags and instead attempt
to process them. Because the flags are new, the Help Compiler fails during the
compilation process. RESOLUTION This problem is corrected in Help Workshop version 4.03,
which is available for download from the Microsoft Download
Center. The following
file is available for download from the Microsoft Download
Center: For

MORE INFORMATION Help Workshop is a program that you use to create Help
(.hlp) files, edit project and contents files, and test and report on Help
files. Help Workshop takes the information in the project (.hpj) file to
combine the topic (.rtf) files, bitmaps, and other sources into one Help file
that can be viewed using the Microsoft Windows Help program.
Help
WorkShop 4.02 compiles Help files from RTF written by the 16-bit versions of
Word, such as Word 6.0, and also the 32-bit versions such as Word 7.0, 97, and
2000.
Help Workshop 4.02 does not compile projects created in the
MS-DOS version of the Help Compiler.
A Help file created in Help
Workshop 4.02 does not run under Windows 3.x, because Help Workshop 4.02 creates 32-bit Help files, and
Windows 3.x is a 16-bit operating environment.
