PITTSBURGH, March 23 -- ComponentOne today announced Doc-To- Help 2007, another installment of the tool's yearly subscription release cycle. This release adds a powerful new search engine for NetHelp that installs effortlessly, a convenient new breadcrumb navigation feature in HTML- based outputs, and a "generate PDF" button in Word manual outputs to effortlessly create PDF files. These features give Doc-To-Help users a higher level of customizability and makes delivering effective Help systems and printed documentation to users easier than ever before.

"It is important that a Help authoring tool delivers features that make it possible for authors to provide their end-users with high quality, custom Help and printed manuals," said Sunny Wong, Ph.D., managing director of ComponentOne. "For this release, we've focused on providing the features our users are asking for most."
