Adobe RoboHelp - Basic/Intermediate
Basic/Intermediate Adobe RoboHelp (2 days) teaches how to create professional standard online help in popular formats such as HTML Help, Webhelp and XML Help, as well as 'single source projects' from which you can generate both online help and hard copy guides from one source.
Advanced Adobe RoboHelp (1 day, following on from the Basic/Intermediate course) teaches further techniques including the processes for making online help context-sensitive, styles and stylesheets, the development of skins and the use of the RoboScreenCapture and RoboSource facilities.
The mode of delivery combines lecture, demonstration and hands-on practice. Class numbers are small (maximum 8 delegates), providing ample opportunity to discuss your specific requirements with the trainer.

The trainer, David Rose, is an Adobe Certified Instructor (ACI), and an Adobe Certified Expert (ACE) in RoboHelp.
