RE: Comparison of RoboHelp and Doc-to-Help for consolidating our Word content into web based knowledge base?

["Al Geist" <al -dot- geist -at- geistassociates -dot- com>]

Michael Herman (Parallelspace) asked

We're a software company with a lot of traditional Word based product and
user based documentation plus a collection of knowledge base articles.

We like to consolidate all of these Word assets into some sort of web-based
knowledge based solution (that looks/functions like Microsoft's MSDN and
TechNet web sites).

I used to be familiar with RoboHelp and Doc-to-Help but haven't used these
products in a long time.  Which one is best from your experience?   Are
there any other old/new products on the market that are good for repurposing
content (mostly Word) into as web based knowledge base?

 
Hi Michael,

Have you tried looking at a Wiki?
