ANNOUNCE: Welcome Back, Thanks, and Congratulations to Doc-To-Help,
    a Renewing TECHWR-L Sponsor

Welcome back, thanks, and congratulations to Doc-To-Help, a renewing
TECHWR-L sponsor. This Platinum sponsor is a premier authoring and
publishing tool in the market. Since 1991, Doc-To-Help has been built
upon solid code, innovation, and rigid quality assurance testing,
making it what it is today.

Doc-To-Help gives you everything you need to create and publish
documentation, manuals, and other information through multiple
channels. Its secret sauce is the choice of content authoring (and
import) formats and virtually any output you may need.

Its new integration with SharePoint allows Doc-To-Help users to take
advantage of SharePoints Document Libraries and all its related
content management features. Users can upload documents to a
SharePoint Document Library and use Doc-To-Help as an interface to
edit content, check files in/out, and ultimately publish deliverables.
Alternatively, Doc-To-Help users can download existing documents from
a library. Since these documents are stored in SharePoint, users can
take advantage of SharePoints management features such as version
control, workflows, and even translation management.

Doc-To-Helps advanced technology is apparent in its XHTML
functionality, Word support, and DynamicHelp tool. You can convert
existing Word documents to XHTML in just one click. You can map Word
styles to CSS styles associated with the new XML file. Doc-To-Help is
flexible in the fact that it still allows Word users to work in Word
if they wish rather than converting to XML. Authors and developers can
now work seamlessly together with the ComponentOne DynamicHelp tool.
This tool provides an easy way to embed dynamically updating Help into
your applications

Doc-To-Help is the only vendor that gives you everything you need to
create your documentation deliverables in one application. TECHWR-L
members may enjoy a 30-day full feature trial, which is available at
http://www.doctohelp.com. We appreciate their commitment to the
TECHWR-L community and the entire industry.
