Jennifer,

I'm currently using RH Office 2002; haven't had occasion to use the RH side of it, I'm creating compiled HTML help. So far (once I bought a new 'puter with Windows XP) I've been pleased with it, no more glitches than you normally find with any software program (or maybe I'm just used to RH, I've been using it for eight years, now). If you're running Windows 98, though, you WILL have problems. You shouldn't if you're running Windows 2000, NT or XP.

If you're ONLY creating HTML help and do not anticipate ever having to deal with WinHelp (including converting a WinHelp system to HTML) , I'd go with just the HTML version.

Anyone out there using Robohelp Office 2002? I've been granted permission to order it, but after reading a bit about it I'm a little confused between the two different modules. I've used Robohelp before (mostly to create uncompiled Web help) but haven't ever had to order it myself.
In 2002, the 'suite' consists of Robohelp for Microsoft HTML, and Robohelp for WinHelp ($899 together or $499 each). The only real difference I see (beyond one help format that doesn't apply to me) is that one uses a WYSIWYG editor and the other uses Microsoft Word. My biggest requirement is that the HAT imports Framemaker files, which both modules seem to do.
After reading the spec I think I'd only need Robohelp for Microsoft HTML, but I'm wondering if anyone out there has found they need the other module, or if it's essential to have both modules? I'd just as soon order the one if it's all I need.
