HelpSmith 2.0 Makes Help Authoring A Pleasure To Do

When it comes to the modern Help systems, the authoring software let us make
documentation in ways never imagined only a couple of decades ago. Unfortunately,
one common drawback in all this software is its complexity. Fortunately, HelpSmith
from Divcom Software is different.


VANCOUVER, Canada - Aug. 15, 2008 - Divcom Software today announces the
availability of HelpSmith 2.0, a new remarkably easy Help authoring tool that
enables professionals - developers and tech writers - to make Microsoft HTML Help
(.chm) documentation right out of the box. HelpSmith 2.0 is available immediately at
www.helpsmith.com.

After struggling with the high-tech Help authoring systems, many technical
communication professionals may find HelpSmith to be a welcome relief. It has the
features and functions they want in an easy to use interface with a built-in visual
word processor. The processor lets you create and edit content much as you would in
Microsoft Word. It offers different styles, formatting attributes and an ability to
add graphics and corporate logos to make the Help system match the corporate style.
The content can be organized into the tree-type structure with just a few touches of
the mouse. For easy navigation through the Help system, the author can create a
table of contents, index and use keywords for advanced hyperlinking.

In addition to the nice look-and-feel and easy navigation, HelpSmith software has
some other helpful features, such as a built-in spell checker. Just like it is in
Microsoft Word, the program automatically checks the spelling as you type the
content and highlights spelling errors. Another good feature in HelpSmith is
automatic correction of all modified references. There will be no broken links in
the documentation when you rename anything. And finally, complete Unicode support
lets the author make Help content in multiple languages.

The engineers at Divcom Software are committed to rapidly supporting the latest
technology innovations that impact the professional author. HelpSmith is fully
tested and compatible with the new version of Windows from Microsoft, Microsoft
Windows Vista.

"HelpSmith is designed by writers for writers," said Eugene Ivanov, Divcom Software.
"We did our best to make it an easy, intuitive Help authoring solution to technical
writers that doesn't make them get bogged down in technologies. With this tool in
place, you can complete the project in nearly half the time it could take in
RoboHelp or MadCap Flare just because the product is so downright easy to get
started with for a complete beginner."
