Re: Help file basics - online resources?

I am a bit confused. Your subject line suggests that you want 
general information on creating help files, but, your question about 
language translation leads me to believe otherwise.

By language translation, do you mean translating an existing file to 
other languages? If so, I have a list of notes from other folks about 
things to watch out for as you work with a translator (hey, 
crimsonlanguage.com -- maybe you ARE a language translator?).

If you are just looking for general information on how to create an 
RTF file for use with the help compiler, you might try here:

dex.htm

Also, if you download the HelpWorkshop from Microsoft (free), the 
help file with that ("Help Authoring Guide") has quite a bit of 
information.
