Question

Will version x5 still work OK

I have RoboHelp x5.01. Have maintained a winhelp project with it for years using the old RoboHelp for Word interface. Now we are ready to convert it to HTML Help.

It's a pretty basic help file with some context-sensitive topics and whats-this popups.

Does anyone have any compelling reasons for me to upgrade to the latest version of RoboHelp as opposed to sticking with the x5 HTML Help tool to convert and maintain going forward?

Thanks.

Hi there

As long as X5 is doing what you need, my vote is to go for sticking with it!

To be honest, I'm not sure how much has really changed from the RoboHelp for Word side. Other than adding capability for using later versions of Word that is.

Cheers... Rick

OK-thanks. I've already outputted to HTML Help from RoboHELP for Word. A few links went dead, but all in all looks pretty good. Still need to test context mapping.

Good start and looking forward to using the HTML tool. Won't have to keep multiple versions of Word anymore!
