The key word there is "built-in". The HTML Help Workshop help file explains how to add the required HTML and JS code for expanding sections. Mif2Go then lets you automate the insertion of such code, but the generation of the code is not automatic. For example, suppose you want to have a link: Click for more. which displays this text: Here is a more detailed explanation. One way would be to put in the above text in Frame with the first paragraph format ClickLink and the second ClickText. Then in mif2htm.ini you'd put macros containing the required HTML code for each paragraph type. Or if your link text was always the same, you could include that in the macro too, and just have the text for the expanded part in Frame. Or use a button. This is why we don't provide a "canned" method (and why Microsoft doesn't either); this is best designed to fit your specific needs. HTH! -- Jeremy H.
