Hi all,
My new company is investigating creating online help for their product. One
of my tasks is to investigate how well Flare imports Word documents (which
will function as the source files) as currently my company has a large suite
of manuals produced in Word. I have played around a bit with the trial
version and the results are satisfactory. I would be happy to hear from
anyone who has experience producing online help using Flare with Word as the
source files.
I noticed, for example, that the quality of the imported images was poor.
