17.6 Managing graphics for
WinHelp
WinHelp understands only two graphics formats: WMF
and BMP. Graphics in other formats must be converted. Although it may
seem that other formats such as GIF work for WinHelp, actually any format
other than WMF or BMP is converted by the WinHelp compiler, using a Microsoft
Office filter; not the best process.
To exclude graphics entirely, or display only graphics
file names, see §40.2.2.3
Excluding graphics from RTF output.
