Question

Do you know if it's possible to generate Word 2003 files from
RoboHelp if we're using Office 2007 and RoboHelp 2007? We are
thinking of upgrading, but have customers that would still require
Word 2003 formats because they won't have 2007 installed.

Thanks!

The first page of the wizard gives you the option of the doc extension (2003 compatible) or docx (2007 compatible). I don't believe any of the features added in Word 2007 can be saved in the doc format but not 100% sure of that.

Everything I have generated that way (using doc) has opened fine in Word 2003.

Hi NewtoRobohelpUnfortunately I don't have Office 2007 in front of me to testwith. But I'm thinking that as long as Office 2007 still producesthe same formats as 2003, you could do it this way.From RoboHelp 7 and using Office 2007, generate Printedouptut. Open said printed output in Office 2007 and perform a SaveAs. Save the document as a RTF (Rich Text Format) document. RTF is more universal. So I'm thinking this may be a possibleway around it. There is also the possibility that Word 2007 offersup an ability when saving a file to save in an older format.Cheers... Rick
