ANOUNCEMENT: WinHelp & HtmlHelp training using RoboHELP

["David A. VanAusdale, Citation Enterprises" <davidv -at- CONNECTNET -dot- COM>]

Hello Everyone

It is about time for our RoboHELP training roadshow to hit the trails again.
In that spirit, I have included our 1999 HTMLHelp & WinHelp using RoboHELP
training schedule through May.

We have added a optional third day devoted just to HTMLhelp.  We look at the
advantages and differences between the two formats, including preparing the
help system to be called as context sensitive help.

To save a seat for one of these, please FAX in a registration form.


When I am traveling, The easiest way to contact me directly is by leaving a
message with my service at 800.413.7131.  The service will then page me
almost anywhere in the US and I will return your call.

We also provide on-site training for companies with several RoboHELP users
or that require a more specialized course.


Thank you

David

The course is broken in to three days to allow you to tailor the seminar to
your needs.  Those newly entering this exciting field, and intermediate
users should consider starting with the first day, as the later days build
on skills learned the first day.  Those very experienced in RoboHELP, but
wishing to update their knowledge of the latest version may start on the
second day.  Those interested only in HTML help and experienced in Hypertext
design may attend only the third day.

The course will begin with the basic parts of a Windows based Hypertext
help/information system, so that you will not only know how to build one,
but how and why it works.  RoboHELP 7 will be used to create a full featured
Windows compatible help system.  On the second day, special emphasis will be
placed on using the new RoboHELP Explorer to create a TOC, Multilevel index,
and increase your productivity.  The third day will be devoted to HTML help
systems, their advantages and limitations.  Over the three days we will also
take a look at how the tools in WinHelp office can increase your users
access to the information presented, accelerate  your development process
and smooth relations with application developers.   We will cover not only
what you need now to create full featured hypertext systems, but also what
you will need in the future to stay on top of this fast changing field.

The three day seminars are held at Courtyard Marriott hotels.  In order to
provide more individual instruction, attendance at each class, is limited to
12 students.  Citation will provide each student a state-of-the-art computer
during training, training materials, and E-Mail technical support after the
class.
