Subject:Word-to-html vs. RoboHelp for Web help From:Karen Field <kfield -at- STELLCOM -dot- com> To:TECHWR-L <techwr-l -at- lists -dot- raycomm -dot- com> Date:Fri, 10 Dec 1999 13:37:46 -0800
Greetings all.
I'm developing my first online help system for a web site. My bosses want me
to justify the expense for Robohelp standard (which includes Web help) vs.
using Word's html function (I get nightmares at the thought). (My first
thought was, "Yeah, WOrd does everything else so well--not; I'm sure it does
something as complicated as this well, too. Not.) Since I've not used
Word-to-html, can anyone tell my exactly why this process is the nightmare I
know it's going to be? Thanks in advance.
