ComponentOne® Releases ComponentOne Doc-To-Help 2005 v2 -- New Version Adds More Support for Macromedia's RoboHelp and Dreamweaver Users


PITTSBURGH, Dec. 1 / -- ComponentOne today released ComponentOne Doc-To-Help 2005 v2. This new version provides more support for tools that Help Authors are currently using by adding integration to Macromedia Dreamweaver and a RoboHelp Word Project Converter. These features build upon existing Microsoft FrontPage integration and the RoboHelp HTML Project Converter. Now, RoboHelp Word and HTML users can convert their projects with a single click and edit the source files in Microsoft Word or the editor of their choice.

"We are providing technology that empowers Help Authors to hit the ground running when converting to or getting started with Doc-To-Help," said Sunny Wong, managing director of ComponentOne. "Our one-click RoboHelp project converter can convert a build-ready project in minutes and integrations to popular editors, such as Word, Dreamweaver, and FrontPage allow users to author in the environments that they are most comfortable."

Doc-To-Help 2005 v2 empowers users to author or import documentation in Microsoft(R) Word or any HTML editor to create online Help systems and professional printed manuals. Help systems produced with Doc-To-Help can be created in virtually any popular format including HTML Help, Cross-Platform HTML-based Help, JavaHelp, WinHelp, Visual Studio .NET-style Help, and printed documentation.

New features in Doc-To-Help Enterprise 2005 v2:
- Dreamweaver Integration: Similar to the existing FrontPage integration, the version of Doc-To-Help will include a toolbar and wizards in the Macromedia Dreamweaver interface.

- Doc-To-Help Express: Doc-To-Help Express is designed to give users the essential features they need to convert their source documents to the Help system of their choice. This wizard-like interface makes Doc-To-Help easy for new users and more convenient for experts who just want to build their Help files.

- RoboWord Project Converter: The existing RoboHelp HTML Project Converter will now be able to convert RoboHelp Word projects also, providing you with a transformed Doc-To-Help Word project.

- WinHelp Converter: Users can convert WinHelp files to Doc-To-Help source projects.

- Context Sensitive Help for Web Applications: Help authors can now create context sensitive Help for Web applications.

- Unicode Support: Unicode characters are now supported.
