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

Michael,

If you are starting with Word documents I think you will find Doc-To-Help
the ideal tool to create a web-based knowledge base. It is also one of the
first tools to support the new Microsoft Help Viewer, which is being used
with Visual Studio 2010.

Regards,
 
Paul Neshamkin

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

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?
