Subject:Developing On-line Docs From:Michael Blair <mjblair -at- TOTAL -dot- NET> Date:Fri, 15 Jan 1999 10:19:27 -0500
I am currently working on a document in Word 98 for the Macintosh that
will eventually be converted to on line contextual help for a
windows-based program. If anyone out there has any experience with such
things, I'd really like to hear from you off list.
I guess I'm most interested in how formatting coverts and the kinds of
things I should do or avoid to make the conversion as smooth as possible.
In other words, how does Word 98 get along with programs like Robo-Help
(which I've only heard about)? What about Word 98's on-line document
format?
Any advise or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
TIA
