RoboHelp or WebWorks ePublisher for Word 2000 and FrameMaker 6?
Subject:RoboHelp or WebWorks ePublisher for Word 2000 and FrameMaker 6? From:Nandini G <nandini111 -at- yahoo -dot- com> To:techwr-l -at- lists -dot- techwr-l -dot- com Date:Sun, 12 Mar 2006 00:41:19 -0800 (PST)
My company has no Help software. The 300-page user
guide is 85% done in Word 2000. It will be converted
and updated in Frame 6.0. We might upgrade to 7.2.
What would be quickest to learn and deploy:
1. Generating Help from Word 2000 with RoboHelp X 5
and manually updating additional content. I have
training in RoboHelp X 5.
OR:
2. Converting the Word file to Frame and creating Help
with WWP or WWeP? Problem: nobody knows WebWorks or
how to create templates for the Help.
OR:
3. Using Dreamweaver 4 or later, creating Help. Nobody
knows mechanisms involved.
Are people using RoboHelp to create Help from
FrameMaker saving it as an RTF file? How about as a
PDF? What's the learning curve like on WebWorks? I
have two months to test, update and write the document
the user guide, and write Help. The software is not
ready.
