Can anyone tell me if RoboHelp 7 will work with Windows 7?

I'm really behind the times. I'm using Robohelp 6 with Word 2003. I generate .CHM help files, but they're not web-based. They're all viewed by F1 clicks and have Map IDs assigned to the topics. My questions are:

Will I need to upgrade to RH 8 to continue authoring help files for Windows 7? In other words, will RH 6 work under Windows 7?
Will I need to upgrade to Word 2007 in order to use RH 8?
Will my RH 6 project import properly into RH 8 or will I need to upgrade to RH 7, then to RH 8?
And finally, will my RH 6 projects display properly in Windows 7?

I'm rather technologically challenged so please be kind

I doubt it. I'm not on Windows 7 but you should be fine with RH6.
No. You can still use Word 2003 with RH8.
You can ugrade a project from RH6 straight to RH8 but there is no going back so make sure you have a copy.
Can't say because I haven't tried. You'd have to test your project yourself to be 100% sure.

Has anyone got the pin to taskbar to work in Windows 7?

I recently upgraded from to Windows 7 (from Vista) on a 64-bit machine. I use RoboHelp 7 and it works for me and so does Captivate 3.

I do not like the "pinning to the taskbar" feature, but I did find a way to get the Quick Launch menu back and working like it does in XP/Vista. Search for the How-To Geek online.

I've got it installed and it seems to work fine. I can't, however, pin RoboHelp to the task bar. This is such a great feature in 7 and I can't use it with this application which is dissapointing.

Hi there

I realize this is an old thread, but today I stumbled across some information that may be relevant. Purportedly the steps allow pinning even uncooperative applications to the taskbar in Windows 7.
