WYSIWYG Help Authoring Software

*** Great News! IBE Software has agreed to extend this deal for another day - Enjoy! ***

Please note folks: HelpNDoc includes free updates for a full version cycle (for example, 3.2 to 4.2), and includes a safety period of one year.

Sometimes you just want to get down to the nitty-gritty task of writing help documentation without the hassle of dealing with expensive, complicated help authoring software packages with steep learning curves.

If this is you, then you need to get yourself a copy of HelpNDoc. It's easy to use, intuitive, and it generates compiled HTML files, Word documents, PDF documentation, web content, and iPhone websites from a single source!

HelpNDoc looks and feels like your typical word processing application -- you use the WYSIWYG interface to type up your documentation, apply formatting, change fonts -- everything that you're used to doing in Microsoft Word. The magic happens when you hit the 'Generate Help' button. HelpNDoc does all of the hard work for you, producing a fully functional compiled HTML help file, Word and PDF documentation or iPhone websites -- ready to use, right off the rack. And what's more, HelpNDoc requires absolutely no complex technical understanding of HTML coding!

Even if you are HTML proficient, HelpNDoc has you covered. In addition to producing self-contained compiled HTML help (CHM) files, you can also export individual help topics as HTML files for use in your website. HelpNDoc also includes a powerful template system where every single aspect of the documentation output can be customized: the possibilities are endless!

Please Note: A HelpNDoc license includes at least one year of free updates and continues as long as a full version cycle hasn't been reached.

Stephen Kreyling A quick question on the upgrades:

If helpndoc goes to version 4.5 in 8 months we will still get free upgrades for the remaining months?

If helpndoc goes to version 4.2 in two year or so, we will still get a free upgrade?

Please clarify..

John Riche @Stephen Kreyling Thank you for your interest in HelpNDoc. Both of your statements are true: you'll get a full version cycle of free updates guaranteed (which means till version 4.2 included as current version is 3.2) with a safety period of one year (which means that if you order today, you'll get free updates at least till the 5th of December 2012 included, whatever the versions available till then).
Please let me know if I can be of further assistance.

John Riche @Michael F Thank you for your interest in HelpNDoc.
HelpNDoc doesn't produce Microsoft Help Viewer 1.x or Microsoft Help 2 files. However, you could tailor the generated output by creating your own template to make it produce sources compatible with those formats and compile it by hand afterwards.

Thanks.

John Riche @Mike Murphy Thank you for your interest in HelpNDoc.
This offer is for the named used license which allows you to install HelpNDoc on a reasonable number of computers you own and as long as you are the only one using it.
Please let me know if I can be of further assistance.

Mike Murphy One more question. Can you import the contents of word .doc or .docx files into the help project?

Thanks.

Mike Murphy
Dec 5 2011 at 6:38am
John Riche @Mike Murphy You can import .doc and .docx file as long as you have Word 32bit installed on your computer.
You can import HTML files and RTF files natively.

Mike Murphy OK, thanks. I went ahead and purchased. Looks like a good easy program. Can you explain how to create the iPhone site? I can't figure that one out. Or should I open a help contact form?

John Riche @Mike Murphy Thank you for your purchase. To generate an iPhone web-site, just select the iPhone template in the HTML section of the documentation generation dialog as shown in the following screenshot: http://www.helpndoc.com/s...tation.png

Thanks.

Glen Coulthard Do you have a competitive matrix that would help my comparison between Help & Manual, MadCap Flare, and/or RoboHelp?

HJ B 1. Is it practical/advantageous to use this product for the generation of web pages and associated pdfs, etc., other than for help in a support sense?

2. HTML permits the creation of pages that are longer and wider than standard paper sizes. The result is that when such pages are printed the html page will span several printed pages, both in the length and width, or else the print is to small to be useful.

Does this product have a means of avoiding that result?

3. I like your website, and the information it provides; however, I did not see an example of an actual help product, including the various formats and reports for that same set of data. Is there someplace I can go to see an example of the full product results, and not just a description of those results?
Dec 6 2011 at 10:09am
John Riche @HJ B Thank you for your interest in HelpNDoc. To answer your questions:

1. Absolutely, HelpNDoc comes with a powerful template system which will let you customize the whole HTML output. You could generate web-sites which are completely different from a help file if you'd like

2. Generated HTML is not limited in width an height by default. This can be achieved via CSS

3. You can view HelpNDoc's own help file in various formats online at: http://www.helpndoc.com/online-help
