atw: Re: Word to html conversion

RoboHelp support is non existent now. It is a dead stick. Absolutely nothing
is available from Adobe. My suggestion is to stop using it and move on...

XDK/Re-Worx has it's own problems, primarily the attitude to fixing bugs. I
wouldn't be considering it unless that support has improved. We found a show
stopping bug that was fixed by the company, and to get the fix you had to
buy the next version of the software... Well, like freakin holy extortion 
Batman. It was fun to use and integrated well with MS Word.

Hi Irene

Any Help Authoring Tool should be able to do this.

Outputs you should look for are:

* Compressed HTML (CHM) if you are only running the output on Windows PCs
* Java Help if you need cross platform

There are some other types but these are the main two.

Some HATs to have a look at include:

* Madcap Flare - the new kid on the block but has many of the ex-developers
from RoboHelp

* RoboHelp - used to be the main player but had a dubious future through
various acquisitions, Adobe (being the current owner) have made some noises
about continuing development but the jury is still out

* Someone mentioned ReWorX - I presume it has improved since I last looked
at it (it's predecessor, HDK, was very good)

There are many others.
