I don't do it often enough, so need a tip on how to express the bookmarks on my heading 3 sytles in such a way that the size of the h3 titles don't change font size from 12B to 10B on mouseover in the published help.

here's a line that changes size:

<h3><a name="Add_a_Document_Set">Add a Document Set</a></h3>

Hi,

This happens in standard compliance browsers, because the syntax is incorrect. If you specify an anchor, You must not include text bewteen the <a> tags. The correct syntax is:

<a name="Add_a_Document_Set"></a><h3>xxx</h3>

You apply this in RH by putting the cursor on a random spot (do NOT select any text or image) and click INSERT | BOOKMARK. You bookmarks will then appear correct.

Greet,

Applying a bookmark shouldn't cause the heading to change at all. (Except in Design view it looks like a hyperlink. )

If you put a bookmark on say some Normal text, does it happen too?

Also, maybe post your stylesheet - at least any entries containing H3 - maybe something there is affecting it.
