TechWhirl (TECHWR-L) is a resource for technical writing and technical communications professionals of all experience levels and in all industries to share their experiences and acquire information.
For two decades, technical communicators have turned to TechWhirl to ask and answer questions about the always-changing world of technical communications, such as tools, skills, career paths, methodologies, and emerging industries. The TechWhirl Archives and magazine, created for, by and about technical writers, offer a wealth of knowledge to everyone with an interest in any aspect of technical communications.
1) Author in FM. This becomes one set of content you have to update
and synchronize.
2) Save as MIF.
3) Import the MIF into RoboHelp.
4) Edit the content in RoboHelp for presentation and, as needed, to
make sure things like graphics, links, generated lists are okay. This
becomes the second set of content you have to update and synchronize
... or, you can keep redoing steos 1 - 4.
If you want to single source from RoboHelp, don't use FrameMaker,
neither use Word. Keep your content in RoboHelp and see if you can
make that work.
