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.
A question to my peers: what experiences (good and bad) can you
share/advice can you give about help authoring tools? We are looking at
Doc-to-Help, RoboHelp, and ForeHelp (with some slight leaning toward the
latter). We've read the research on ComputerSelect and elsewhere, but -
before we consider buying and training - it would be wonderful to hear your
"been there, done that" stories. You may answer on- or off-list. If
others think it's worthwhile, I'll publish a summary of your comments.
Thanks!
