WD2000: Word RTF and Interaction with Help Compilers (210853)

SUMMARY

Microsoft Word 2000 supports 24-bit text font colors.

Word 2000 Rich Text Format (RTF) is backward-compatible and is both 16-bit and 24-bit compliant. RTF translators and compilers can process Word's 24-bit text font colors.

However, if you are using an older compiler (such as the Help Compiler that ships with Microsoft Visual C++ 4.0 or Microsoft Visual C++ 4.02 Help Workshop), you may need to update your compiler to version 4.03, which is available for download from the Microsoft Download Center.

MORE INFORMATION
