Can I use Word 2010 with RoboHelp 8?

Our company just upgraded to Word 2010 and, all of a sudden, when I try to generate printed documentation, RH gives me an error that I need Word 2000 or later. The OS is Windows XP Professional. Thanks!

No you cannot use Word 2010 with RoboHelp 8.

Word 2007 is the highest version that will run with RoboHelp 8.

Hi Beth

Nope, sorry. Word 2010 isn't compatible with RoboHelp 8. Only RoboHelp 9 is compatible with Word 2010.

Choices are to upgrade RoboHelp or to downgrade Word.

Cheers... Rick
