Any comments on Word 2007?

[Brierley, Sean]

Good to know that, apparently, RH still leans on Word for its PDF
generation.

Cheers,

Sean

Um...that I'm not sure why there were any problems?

It is possible to install RoboHelp without Word installed, but I had to
click through several messages first. (I just installed RoboHelp on a
system with Office 2007.) It showed me the three flavors of Word it
wanted me to select from. When I clicked Next, it asked if I wanted to
continue installing RH without one of the three flavors of Word
installed. I did, but I can't open any projects in RoboHelp for Word and
I (obviously) can't produce printed output from any RoboHelp HTML
projects.

This is a change, though, from earlier versions, where Word was
required. I don't remember if this change was in place for X5 or
not...it was a long time ago and I had a desired version of Word.
