For our software product, we generate an online help file as well as a
printed manual. We plan to implement single sourcing. Can you suggest
which is the best tool? FM + Webworks or RoboHelp + Word
We currently use Robohelp 9 to develop the online help and generate the
printed manual using the "Generate Printed Documentation". I believe
migrating from RoboHelp 9 to X5 will not be an issue. But does the "word
generate" feature of X5 works fine? Any views of the technical writers who
are using RoboHelp X5?
Or, is it advisable to migrate from RoboHelp to FM, if we are currently
using RoboHelp 9?
All feedback is greatly appreciated.
Many Thanks.
