This is true choice of editing environment.

     

  • Rather Work in Microsoft Word? No problem.

    Create and store your content entirely in Word. We still have the industry leading Word support that first made Doc-To-Help famous in 1991. An integrated toolbar helps you configure your project without the need to convert your docs to a proprietary format. If you can use Word, you can use Doc-To-Help.

     

  • Import What You Have

    Reuse past work by importing the materials you already have. Step-by-step wizards help you import existing materials and create new Doc-To-Help projects. Start with anything in these formats:

    • RoboHelp Word
    • RoboHelp HTML
    • HTML Help
    • WinHelp
    • Word Documents
    • HTML Files

  • Automation Makes Publishing Easy

    Focus on writing and let Doc-To-Help do the rest. It analyzes your content and automatically adds a Table of Contents, index, cover pages, search, and more. While other tools give you similar automation, they require you to spend time configuring them, often for each output.

  • Industry Leadership Since 1991

    Introduced in 1991, Doc-To-Help was the first technology that could transform a Word document to a searchable desktop system. It has since evolved to support more authoring environments and more publishing options.

    Doc-To-Help has always benefited from a close relationship with Microsoft and the user community. You will always enjoy support of Microsoft’s latest technologies from their standard Help platform to .NET developer technologies such as Help 2.0, Help Viewer 1.0, Sandcastle, and .NET/XML transforms.

    Doc-To-Help will also always serve the community’s needs by addressing the latest emerging technologies, techniques, and trends.
