### 8.2.4 Preparing a document for conversion to WinHelp

To generate WinHelp from a FrameMaker document, observe the following guidelines:

• Keep file names short; very long names might exceed limits in WinHelp, especially the 64-character limit on lines in the .cnt file. See §2.2 Naming FrameMaker formats for additional file-name restrictions.

• Provide a conversion template that reduces the size range of headings, and eliminates page numbers from cross references; see §2.4 Importing formats from a conversion template.

• Avoid using tabs. FrameMaker uses a unique tabbing scheme, to eliminate the dependency on font metrics that is present in Word and in WinHelp.

• Provide versions of graphics in BMP or WMF format; see §5.7 Processing graphics for more information.
