Re: RoboHelp 6
Hi Will, You're right. We don't have RH 7 or 8. We're not a RH shop and don't particularly want to become one. All we want to do is a quick update to a existing project before we sunset the whole shebang. The frustrating part is Adobe surely still has the software and they acknowledge that we have a right to it -- they just won't make it available to us. Interestingly enough, the Adobe sight has downloads for v7 and v5, but not v6, which is the one we need. Go figure. Thanks, all. Any other suggestions are welcome. ...Susan From: Will Husa will.h...@4techwriter.com To: Susan Modlin smod...@yahoo.com; framers@lists.frameusers.com Sent: Wed, January 13, 2010 6:37:07 AM Subject: RE: RoboHelp 6 Hi Susan, Judging by the tone of your message, I can only assume that you do not have RoboHelp 7 or RoboHelp 8 in your tool kit.

So why not do the free 30-day eval of RH8 or TCS2 and be done with it? Or MIF2Go? Art Campbell art.campb...@gmail.com ...

RE: RoboHelp 6
Finding a contractor or a service bureau that has a version of RoboHelp that can open and update your existing project should not be very difficult. And if the required updates are well defined, the cost of hiring out the job should not be very great, either. Dealing with a *one-time* upgrade of a legacy project in-house can often wind up being much more expensive than jobbing out in the long run than because of all the time that goes into cobbling together the tools to deal with the project. The in-house approach only has a cost advantage if this project (or similar projects) will need ongoing maintenance and upgrades. -Fred Ridder Date: Wed, 13 Jan 2010 10:32:46 -0800 From: smod...@yahoo.com Subject: Re: RoboHelp 6 To: will.h...@4techwriter.com; framers@lists.frameusers.com Hi Will, You're right.

Here's the problem: my company acquired another software firm and I inherited their docs, which were created in Word and RH6. Before we jettison the existing docs and move them to FM, I need to make some updates to the RH version. This required RH6. Unfortunately, the media was lost in the move. I have the serial number, but no software. Multiple phone calls and support cases opened with Adobe have yielded absolutely nothing. They even went so far as to give me a busted FTP URL and then deny that such a thing existed. Go figure. I realize that this group has absolutely nothing to do with RH, but you're the most innovative and creative problem solvers I know, so I'm throwing myself on your mercy. Anyone have any ideas? ...Susan When you find a big kettle of crazy, it's best not to stir it. Scott Adams ___ You are currently subscribed to Framers as will.h...@4techwriter.com.

RE: RoboHelp 6
Art has a good suggestion. Download the Trial version of RH8. It's fully functional. I played with it last month when I was evaluating RH8 vs MadCap Flare 5. = Will Husa Technical Writer Your source for user-friendly documentation Phone: 708-927-3569 www.4techwriter.com -Original Message- From: framers-boun...@lists.frameusers.com [mailto:framers-boun...@lists.frameusers.com] On Behalf Of Art Campbell Sent: Wednesday, January 13, 2010 12:37 PM To: Susan Modlin Cc: framers@lists.frameusers.com; Will Husa Subject: Re: RoboHelp 6 So why not do the free 30-day eval of RH8 or TCS2 and be done with it?
