Subject: Re: Authoring Tool for Online Help
If you have Flare, use it. It's as good or better than any other tool for such tasks.

The printable version needs to have GUI images, but CSH does not. I am the only person in the tech pub department. At the present time I am selecting an authoring tool. I know that MadCap Flare will be able to meet my needs and I have Flare in my computer. Any other authoring tools suggestions? Is there any reason that I should not use Flare? Will appreciate your input.
