Customer Reviews & Comments
I bought this book because I moved from Forehelp to Robohelp. If you have ever created a help file you absolutely don't need this book. It is very general and basic. The Robohelp tutorial is just fine for learning their product. Why did I buy the book? Simply because Robohelp only gives you a tutorial. I need to know more about the what to do with all the files it produces. How can I get rid of that stupid logo? And lots of other questions when dealing with the web server and other web documents. You won't find technical information in this book. But if you have never created help files, it is an excellent book.
