Adobe RoboHelp 6 Compatibility with Word 2007
I’ve been using RoboHelp for several years. I have been upgraded to Office 2k7, which does not work with RoboHelp HTML X5 or Adobe RoboHelp 6. I do not know to what extent RoboHelp "needs" Word, or if it needs any other components of the Office suite. Do you see any way out of this dilemma?
Answer
You are correct, Adobe RoboHelp 6 does not work with Word 2007. However, RoboHelp 7, which is due out very soon will fully support Word 2007 and Vista.
RoboHelp 6 can be installed on a PC without Word. However, if Word is not installed prior to installing RoboHelp, you will not be able to import Word documents or create printed documentation. Everything else will work fine.
If you have access to Word 2003, there is a way you can get things to work (you’ll have to install Word 2003 prior to installing RoboHelp 6). Here’s a link to an article that will step you through it.
