Is it possible to save RoboHelp 7 files as Microsoft Help 2.0 .HXS files for integration with MS development products, such as Visual Studio? If not in v7, then how about v8? Thank you.

    Wow! That was fast. I posted the question, went for a cup of tea, and when I returned to my desk I had the answer. Thank you.

    Hi Brian and welcome to the RH community. RH7 (and I believe RH8) does not offer this functionality. You might want to create the help in Robohelp and then compile using Microsoft Help 2.0 Compiler. Click the link below to download it.

    Oops! Sorry Rick. Didn't see you there. These darn new forums still don't have a "Don't bother answering as Rick or Peter already have this in hand" button

    Hi Brian

    RoboHelp 7 or 8 does not understand Help 2. So the short answer here is no.

    You might investigate FAR. I believe FAR will allow creating Help 2.

    Cheers... Rick
