RoboHelp
Workshop: RoboHelp out of the Box
By
Michelle Petersen, VP Professional
Development
So you've bought RoboHelp, and you've installed it on your computer. Now what? Do you want to convert a Word or WinHelp project into a new HTML Help project? Do you have a new Help project that you'd like to create from scratch? If you aren't sure what to do next, this 4-hour course is just what you need to jump-start your Help project. We'll discuss conversion strategies, design issues, capabilities, and other decisions that will help you work most effectively with RoboHelp. We'll discuss tricks to making your work in RoboHTML easier, and we'll also talk about when to use a particular Help output format. Lin Laurie will demonstrate RoboHelp and answer questions about your projects in an open forum afterwards. If you are having a problem in your current RoboHTML project, you're encouraged to bring it in on a laptop to discuss either in class or afterwards.
Who Should Take This Class?
If you are new to RoboHTML Help, this class is for you. If you have worked with RoboHelp but not RoboHTML, you'll find this class very helpful.
