Minimal Learning Curve
Work in your preferred editor. Create and edit your Help systems in RoboHelp's built-in HTML editor, any popular HTML editor such as Dreamweaver or FrontPage®, or Microsoft Word. Since you choose the authoring environment, you can skip the learning curve and get started immediately.
Use the content you already have. Import content from HTML documents, Microsoft Word, Adobe FrameMaker, PDF documents, XML documents, or existing Help projects. RoboHelp automatically splits information into Help topics and preserves any existing Table of Contents, Index, and Glossary.
Easily create context-sensitive Help. RoboHelp makes it a snap to link your Help system to your application, so technical writers and software developers no longer have to struggle over coordinating context-sensitive Help.
Flexible
Generate any popular online Help format. Generate your project in any popular format, including FlashHelp, WebHelp, Microsoft HTML Help, WinHelp, JavaHelp, Oracle Help for Java, and XML. Generate any or all of these formats from a single project with a single click.
Create Help systems that run on any browser or platform. Two of the Help formats RoboHelp generates, WebHelp and FlashHelp, are cross-browser, cross-platform formats that are ideal for use with both desktop and web-based applications.
Create press-ready printed documentation. Generate printed documentation in Microsoft Word or PDF format from the same project used to create your online Help system. The print files you generate are completely press-ready, so there is no post-production required.
Customize your content for multiple audiences. Create multiple versions of your Help system from a single project by using conditional text tags to specify exactly which content should be included in which version(s).
Efficient
Save time. Create professional Help systems and printed documentation for desktop and web-based applications in a fraction of the time. Automated wizards and project templates accelerate the process to help you meet or beat your deadlines.
Organize workflow. Stay organized and track document evolution with file check in/out, time & date stamps, automated file comparisons, version rollback, and other powerful content management features.
Facilitate contributions by multiple authors. RoboHelp's content management features make it easy for multiple team members to seamlessly contribute to a project, even if they are telecommuters or remote office workers, even over low-bandwidth connections.
Track end-user activity and continually improve content. View detailed reports that tell you in real time the specific areas of your Help system and application where end-users are having difficulty. Update your web-based Help system on the fly to instantly improve these areas, even after your application has been released. ( Requires RoboHelp Office Pro ) |
