Default Hcw.exe and Word 2007

Just a thought - the old Word 6 converter can be downloaded from my web
site, which produces RTF format that some applications are happier using.

I am not familiar with the use of hcw.exe, but if you save Word 2007
documents as RTF then the fonts in that document are retained as can
be seen from opening it in WordPad.

I have used various versions of Word over the years to create .rtf
files to compile into .hlp files using hcw.exe with no problems.
However with Word 2007 all of the text is 8pt Times New Roman rather
than the various sizes of Arial that I used in teh .rtf file and
there are other font formatting problems like missing bold. I know
that thils is an old program, but it works for me! Any suggestions as
to how to get round this problem (other than reverting to a previous
version of Word).
