All

I am a Sr technical writer and have used Robohelp before and  starting a new project and with Robohelp. The current technical writer I will work with selected it and is on different projects but same division she did not explain why she picked it

 I don't understand why she selected it because this is a manufacturing company and they do not have any associated software applications.

The question i have is why? I love the tool but how is it as a stand alone and why generate on-line help? What are the pros and cons? Thanks

    Robohelp can also generate Word docs and PDF files, so you would need to check the output presets to see what output type you are generating.

    RoboHelp is not just about help files for software. It can also be used to create a knowledge base, my site is an example of such use.

     

    In your case I guess it would be used by the manufacturing staff for information about their processes. Looking at what is in the topics should tell you.

    Indeed. I didn't make the link. 🙂
