Donovan Olivie #2 / 5	Help Setting Colors in Windows Help if you put % before the context id for the jump, it stays the default color. this works with hcw 4, i'm not sure about earlier versions. e.g. Jump[double underlined]%Jump_id[hidden] On 05 May 1996, Raymond Tant wrote... \| How in the heck do you set the colors used in the windows .hlp \| files....

Are you trying to change the jump color on your system in general, or in a help file you're building? For the former, there's values somewhere in win.ini or something that you can set to change the jump color. You can probably find out where exactly in the windows resource kit. For the latter, don't do it. To me, that would be a flagrant violation of user interface standards. ----- Joe Never underestimate the power of a WAG.

[Windows Help] JumpColor=0 128 0 PopupColor=0 128 128 IFJumpColor=255 000 128 IFPopupColor=128 000 255 MacroColor=248 0 248 These have no effect if your display is set for more than 8bpp (256 colors); in that case all text in standard help files is black.
