Question about which “RoboHelp for Word” Book to Use

The following question comes from E. Proeva:

Dear Sir/Madam,

I have RoboHelp Office which includes RoboHelp for Word X4 and RoboHelp HTML X3. I already have your Essentials for RoboHelp HTML X3, but I need a manual for RoboHelp for Word X4. Could you please tell me which book of your Essentials series would cover the RoboHelp for Word X4 version best.

Thanks
E. Proeva


It was my intention to update my RoboHelp Classic 9 book to RoboHelp for Word X3, X4 and then X5. However, based on diminished support and sales of RoboHelp for Word (based on information from Macromedia), we focused our resources instead on RoboHelp HTML. We have books for every version of RoboHelp HTML including X5, which is the most recent version available from Macromedia

RoboHelp for Word did not change much until release X5 so you could certainly have used my Classic 9 book on version 2002, X3 and possibly X4. And if memory serves, X3 and X4 didn’t have many changes over 2002. I have had a few customers purchase the Classic 9 book and use it as a starting-point to learning the newer versions of the software. Please keep in mind that if you choose that path, tools, commands and screen shots shown in my book may not match the software. In that case, you’d be on your own to learn what’s changed. Everybody learns differently, but I’ve heard that most people are able to push forward in spite of the differences between what’s shown in the book and what is seen on the screen.
