Well, I _have_ Doc-to-Help, but have not started using it yet. (I've been
using RoboHelp when I need to do online help.) I did use version 1.0 of
Doc-to-Help a while back, and I remember that it did make indexing easier,
but I think that I would have a problem using it with our current templates,
that is, I'd have to do a lot of mucking around witht he styles to get
Doc-to-Help integrated with our standard templates.
Thanks for the suggestion and I will take a closer look at using Doc-to-Help
just to do the indexing. (On the project I'm working on now, I don't need
online help.)
Regards,
Keith
