For two decades, technical communicators have turned to TechWhirl to ask and answer questions about the always-changing world of technical communications, such as tools, skills, career paths, methodologies, and emerging industries. The TechWhirl Archives and magazine, created for, by and about technical writers, offer a wealth of knowledge to everyone with an interest in any aspect of technical communications.
Yvonne--
I use Frame95 for my manuals, and HWA (Help Writers Assistant) for
Winhelp. The easiest way I have found to connect the two is to cut
and paste. :-)
Winhelp requires (generally) that you "chunk" information in much
smaller and more specific bites than a manual, so I often end up
massaging the winhelp text after I paste it in. (I've also often
found that it points out areas in my manuals where I've been more
obscure than I thought! <g> )
So....
One of the nice other things about HWA is that it easily produces really nice
HTML from the WH source files, which menas that I don't have to deal
with Frame/Quadralay's limited and petulant functionality.
Let me know if you want more details
