I have just started in my new role and our organization has the following environment:

RoboHelp Office X5

Office 2003 - Moving to Office 2007 next year

Windows XP - Moving to Windows 7 next year

IE 6 - Moving to IE 8 in the next quarter

What kind of compatibility issues will I face over the next year as we upgrade our Microsoft applications?  If I move to the latest version of Robohelp, what advise do you have to move my old files from Robohelp 5 or do I need to start over?

Thanks for your help.

    Hi bieds-mn and welcome to the RH community.

    As far as your MS Office version is concerned you'd need to upgrade your RoboHelp licence when you upgrade to Office 2007. As for your Windows OS, Windows 7 is officially supported for RoboHelp 8. Your IE versions should prove no problem no matter what your configuration.

    Column,

    Thanks for the reply on the RH Community. Do you have any experience with automatic conversion process of moving files from one version to the next? Do you know can I go from 5 to 8 directly?

    Regards,

    Mark
