Hi All,
I am doing some documents (work instructions) in Word 2003.
I would like to try something different and have these files fed into
something that could spit out a quick and dirty help file. The idea
would be that if the PTB (powers that be), like the idea, I could then
have them purchase a tool (hopefully not a costly one as this is not a
project requiring all the bells and whistles of the 21st centry, they
only got their first computer 10 years ago, and most people here still
work in Word like a typewriter)... But I digress.
Could anyone suggest a tool that I could use to try to get the idea
through the PTB?
