Using EasyHelp to Create Help Systems

Becoming a HTMLHelp/Winhelp expert doesn't require technical or programming knowledge if you use EasyHelp. Here are a few screenshots showing you how easy and powerful EasyHelp really is

Different Help Formats - One Source!

You can create help projects complete with a contents tree, index and images very easily with EasyHelp. You can then compile your output into six different help formats. All you need to do is click one button and your help file will be compiled in any of the following formats.

WinHelp
This produces .HLP files, which have been used since the early 1990s and are still popular today. HtmlHelp is the successor to WinHelp but you still see a lot of new applications with WinHelp being used.

HTMLHelp
First became available with Windows 95b it is the de facto standard in Windows Help Authoring. It is very flexible and is widely used. This option creates compiled html files called .CHM files.

Website Help
This produces a website help system that will work on any platform. It includes Contents, an Index and a simple Search engine.

Documentation
Produces a Printable manual or an RTF file that you can edit and manipulate in MS Word or your favourite word processor.

PDF Help
This produces Adobe compatible PDF files that are not platform dependant. PDF files are very popular because they look like a printed manual and are searchable and when you print you get what you see.

Pocket PC Help
This will compile your Project into a single .HTM file, with Table of Contents and Index and all images converted to the correct format, suitable for use on portable devices.
