Known Bugs

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

• Some small GIF images 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. In some circumstances, the problem can be avoided by using 256 colour (8 bit) mode for the GIF image, and it does not occur with larger 16 colour GIF images. This is a bug in the GIF image translator provided with Microsoft Word for Windows 6.0, and has been fixed in later releases of Word 6.
• 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 of nesting. This does not affect the way they appear in the final HTML file.
• When left or right alignment is used in embedded images, if two images in the same paragraph both have left or both have right alignment, the images will be placed in the same frame on the Word page. This is a consequence of the way in which Word treats frames that are given exactly the same alignment. It does not cause any problem with HTML generation, but will make it difficult to re-align one image without the other.
