Hi everyone. You're always so helpful, but I have more questions about
RoboHelp and the possiblity of allowing customers to edit their WinHelp
systems.
Is there a way to deliver a help system and let customers edit it via Word?
Would they need RoboHelp to to this, e.g. in order to recompile after edits
are made? Are any of the auto-generated files in a help project anything
like a .ini file, or can you use an .ini file with a help project that would
allow users to define or select variables in the .doc file?
Making sense? I hope it makes sense to somebody out there and that one of
you who is more experienced than I can help me.
One more ?, are the .hlp and .cnt extensions of WinHelp projects universal,
or are they RoboHelp specific?
Regards,
Cathleen McIntosh
