RoboHELP Seminar Anouncement

["David A. VanAusdale, Citation Enterprises" <davidv -at- CONNECTNET -dot- COM>]

Hello RoboHELPers

It is time for the Citation Computer Training road show to appear at a
Courtyard Marriott near you.  It features a clown, semi trained animals and
some really informative (my wife said so) RoboHELP instruction.

We have expanded the seminars to 4 days.  This is 2 days of WinHelp and 2
days of HtmlHelp.   You may choose to attend all 4 days, or just the WinHelp
or HtmlHelp secessions.

For the company with a number of users, or the company that wants the
curriculum customized, we are also available for on-site training.

To sign up, please FAX, Mail or E-MAIL in a registration and we will save
you a seat.

For further information, please give us a call at (619) 442-5512.  If we do
not answer, leave us a message and the service will page us almost anywhere.

Enjoy

David

The four day course is broken in to two sessions to allow you to tailor the
seminar to your needs.  Days one and two are devoted to WinHelp and days
three and four are devoted to HtmlHelp. Those newly entering this exciting
field are encouraged to attend all four days.  Those interested only in HTML
help and experienced in Hypertext design may attend only the HtmlHelp
portion on days three and four.  Returning students that wish to update
their WinHelp skills and update their knowledge of the latest version may
start on day two.

The course will begin with the basic parts of a Windows based Hypertext
help/information system, so that you will not only know how to build one,
but how and why it works.  The latest version of RoboHELP will be used to
create a full featured Windows compatible help system.  On the second day,
special emphasis will be placed on using the new RoboHELP features to create
a TOC, Multilevel index, and increasing your productivity.  The third and
fourth days will be devoted to HTML help systems.  We will explore HtmlHelp'
s advantages and limitations.  Over the four days we will also take a look
at how the tools in WinHelp office can increase your users access to the
information presented, accelerate your development process and smooth
relations with application developers.   We will cover not only what you
need now to create full featured hypertext systems, but also what you will
need in the future to stay on top of this fast changing field.

The four day seminars are held at Courtyard Marriott hotels.  In order to
provide more individual instruction, attendance at each class, is limited to
12 students.  Citation Computer Training will provide each student with a
state-of-the-art computer (during training), training materials (you keep),
and E-Mail technical support after the class.
