Known Bugs

The following bugs are known about, and will be removed when possible in future releases of HTML Author.

• Small GIF images stored in 16 colour (4 bit) mode cannot be displayed in the source document in Word for Windows. An error message appears whenever the picture field is updated, and the image is shown as a box with a cross in it. This does not affect the way they appear in the final HTML file. The problem does not occur if you use 256 colour (8 bit) mode for the GIF image, and it does not occur with larger 16 colour GIF images. (I suspect this is a bug in the GIF image translator provided with Microsoft Word for Windows 6.0. If anyone knows of a way round this, please could you let me know.) To avoid this problem, you should use 256 colour mode for small GIF images.
• Due to the way lists have been implemented in HTML Author, the numbering in nested, numbered lists is incorrect in the source document when editing in Word for Windows. The numbering sequence is carried on through all levels on nesting. This does not affect the way they appear in the final HTML file.

Please let me know at the E-Mail address shown below if you find any other bugs, or have any comments. (It would also be helpful if you could tell me what version you are using.)
