RoboHelp's alleged demise has left many users wondering where to turn 
next for their Help Authoring needs. Many authors are looking to other 
vendors and solutions, but are hesitant due to the countless hours and 
dollars invested in
their current projects. The main concern is how involved would a 
conversion process be from RoboHelp to another tool.

Is converting from one tool to another a painful project? What options 
do RoboHelp users have and in what direction should they go?

Brad Keller, Customer Representative for Doc-To-Help at ComponentOne, 
will help answer these questions in his presentation covering the 
current RoboHelp situation, the future of Help authoring, and how 
Doc-To-Help's Once-Click RoboHelp Converter simplifies the conversion 
process and provides authors with a clear choice on who to turn to for 
future Help authoring needs.

First, Brad provides a snapshot of the current state of the Help 
authoring industry and the trends that will lead us into the future. 
There are many rumors about RoboHelp's current situation and Brad will 
cover the facts. Brad will also examine the challenges RoboHelp users 
face today and the problems they may experience in the future.

Once he has painted clear picture of the industry, Brad will unveil an 
exciting new conversion utility designed specifically for RoboHelp 
users. The One-Click RoboHelp Project Converter included in Doc-To-Help 
will completely and automatically transform a RoboHelp project file 
(settings and all) to a Doc-To-Help Word or HTML project. You will see 
how Doc-To-Help makes it easy for RoboHelp users to convert their 
existing project files and help systems.

Brad will also explain how Doc-To-Help's authoring process gives you a 
unique degree of authoring flexibility.

What you will take away from this presentation:
- The facts about RoboHelp
- How Microsoft will once again change the industry
- An understanding of the RoboHelp to Doc-To-Help conversion process
- An understanding of how Doc-To-Help works so you can get the most out 
of a trial version

Please attend this meeting if you are interested in learning about Help 
authoring market situations, and especially if you are a RoboHelp user 
who is curious about what options you have for your authoring needs.
