Adobe RoboHelp Workshop

Online Training Directory
In this course, you study the background of online-help systems since they arose in the 1990s. You explore a range of online-help systems, surveying their varied content, organization, format, and in particular navigation systems. You study a sequence of RoboHelp tutorials to learn the basic tasks that professional help writers must know to do their work. Concurrent with the tutorials, you study techniques for task analysis and industry-standard format for writing style, headings, lists, tables, notices, and highlighting. During this course, there are four projects: you "model" a help system based on an existing compiled help; you format text and graphics to design a help system; you document a simple procedure in a help topic that you compile; and you create your own help system for a software application. Final units involve generating PDFs from your help source and importing files (such as Word, HTML, FrameMaker and XML) into RoboHelp.
