Adobe RoboHelp 7

Adobe,RoboHelp,New Features

You can’t imagine how thrilled and excited I am. I feel like jumping on my chair. Jump, Jump…

We just announced another significant release of Adobe RoboHelp. Check out RoboHelp product page at www.adobe.com/products/robohelp for more information. Another major update in record 9 months. Oh boy – RoboHelp development is on steroids.

This has been a very special release – we have had some rave comments on the prerelease site about the current release. Customers who have seen this (via our prerelease program) still don’t believe that we could add such major advancements in 9 months. Enough of trumpeting, let’s get down to the point.

Summary of major feature added in Adobe RoboHelp 7:

• Highly customizable user interface – Create your own unique workspace with personalized toolbars, menus, keyboard shortcuts and dockable pods that work the way you want. A Multiple Document Interface (MDI) makes it easy to copy/paste and edit across multiple topics in a tiled arrangement. Then save your workspace environment for different projects. Quickly remove clutter of unused interface items to focus on the work at hand.
