I'm doing much the same thing right now in our group. We are switching from Word to FrameMaker in order to take advantage of the latter's more robust feature set for conversion to PDF, among other things. ;-)

Hi all,
Ive just started a new job and my manager has posed an interesting question:
Is there one software tool that can be used for developing printed manuals
that can easily be converted to PDF and online help? I couldn't think of
any. If anyone know of any software that can do this, drop me a note.
Currently we are using MS Word to create printed manuals and the online help
is being hard-coded in html.
