Hi,
We are looking to move from WinHelp 2000 on-line help to HTMLhelp or
other more current on-line help format. The version of RoboHelp we have
been using since 2001 has become so outdated that it is no longer
supported. We are currently using MSWord for creating manuals and would
like to be able to share at least some text between on-line and print.
For those of you who author or edit on-line help, could you provide
information about:
The help format you use (winhelp, HTMLhelp, XML, etc.)
The tool you use to create/edit the system (RoboHelp, Doc-To-Help,
etc.)
The good, the bad and the ugly about any of the above...
Feel free to reply off list.
Thanks,
ME
