Has Doc-to-Help actually finished it's user manual? When I used it a few years ago, the user manual wasn't even completed. Literally, what they sent us still had places in it where it said, "reminder, fill this in."
Once I figured out how to use it, I loved it, but ...

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?
