During the recent STC conference in Minneapolis, Akshay Madan, Adobe Product Manager for RoboHelp, previewed the next version of RoboHelp–Adobe RoboHelp 7.
Among the Many Exciting Enhancements:
- Support for MS Vista and Office 2007
- The ability to have more than one topic open at one time
- A totally retooled user interface (UI) that features customizable panels
- You will be able to create multiple TOCs for your Single Source Layouts
- You will be able to create Snippets–reusable blocks of text and or graphics
- There’s going to be improved FrameMaker support. You will now be able to import FrameMaker files into RoboHelp and keep such goodies as variables and conditional text.
- And you can add Breadcrumbs that will show users where they are in your Help system
Keep in mind that the features mentioned here are from a pre-beta version of RoboHelp 7 and that things are likely to change. Even so, if you’re a RoboHelp fan like me, this should get the blood pumping!
