Re-installing an older version of TCS2 on my new laptop

forums_noreply@adobe.com — Fri, 04 Nov 2011 00:35:29 GMT

We bought a copy of TCS (or just RoboHelp 8) online (as in downloaded it) and then I had to re-install it recently only to find that we have no installation type files/CDs (that I know of) and Adobe doesn't have older versions online to download.

I have a working copy on a machine that I RDP to from time to time but I really don't want to have to remote forever and ever to work on my online help projects.

Has anyone have a solution for this?

Upgrading is hardly ever an option due to budget$.

TIA,

Mary

I'm linking my FM docs in RH and never going back...

So, I'm going thru each of my 7.2-FM books that I used to use in WebWorks 9.2, and linking in RoboHelp 8.02. Everything is going faily well so far. I have one glitch with the Converting the FM TOC using the FrameMaker Document Setting dialog box (Right-click the linked FM book and select Properties). I'm unable to select the Add to existing TOC radio button - which is what I really want to do with each book's TOC but I'm able to work around it nicely.

I inherited the project in FM 7.2/WebWorks 9.2 and was then given the OK to upgrade our software. I went with TCS2.

I don't see me ever using the FM documents again. I've been using RH for ten years now and I'm just used to it. We've slowly gravitated away from any print materials, and I would rarely need to print; if I print, it would be to PDF.

Would anyone like to talk me out of doing this? And if so, why?

Has anyone done something like this? Your shared experience would be MOST appreciated!!

Thanks,

Mary
