Creating columns in RH for Word

Question

Hi;

I have been working with tables in Word to create a
side-by-side layout, graphics on the left, text on the right for a
demo documentation project. I was reading in the RH online help
that tables are tossed away in the generation of .chm files, and
that they aren't recommended for many reasons, including that the
indexing and search capabilities ignore them. Soooooo... how do I
create side-by-side content without using tables that will be
properly lined up when the .chm file is generated. This project
will be translated into Japanese, so the column style layout is
preferred.

Can anyone explain how to design a layout like this and have
it look the same when the .chm is generated without using
tables?

I think you are confusing chm files with winhelp. Tables workjust fine and the search covers their content.Create a new project with just a couple of topics and testit.
