Presets, output and publishing help

Question

Hi, I am currently working with the latest version of RoboHelp and have tried following the steps provided by Adobe on outputs and publishing. We want to generate an output and publish our work on Microsoft HTML. We have tried following steps but have no idea how to publish our work onto our software that we use. We understand how to use ''Contents'' and ''Table of Contents'' as well as importing and so on. However, we have not figured out how to simply take our work, generate the output and publish it onto our software system. We desperately need some guidance and help getting this done! Thanks!

Microsoft HTML (CHMs) are a very old technology, why do you want to use that format?

Other formats can be used even with software that is installed locally. The help can either be installed with your software or it can be hosted on a server and your software can access it from there. Which is best is really for your developers to consider based on whether users can access the web. It's the authors job to write the help and deliver the help to the developers, it's there job to make it available.

Wherever it is, the developers can either set things up to open the help at the default topic and leave users to find the answers or they can make the help context sensitive. Calling Context Sensitive Help (grainge.org)
