Cannot Use White Text in Winhelp Heading Style

Problem

If the Color field (under the Font tab) of a Style object is defined as white, the published WinHelp font uses black.

Reason

This is by design. White means 'don't inherit', so the color is not set.

Solution

Use a very slightly off-white color. When selecting the color, choose Define Custom Colors and set the RGB colors to 255, 255, and 254 (rather than white values of 255, 255, and 255). The custom color is then used, and appears white.
