I recently purchased the Technical Communication Suite and
and I was able to find an on-line class for FrameMaker through a
community college but I have not been able to find a similar class
for RoboHelp.
Can you recommend:
Any reasonably priced on-line classes?
Good guided-tour books?
Other resources?
Unlike most of the other Adobe products, RoboHelp does not
seem to have ta plethora of advice and tutorials.
I'm an Adobe Certified RoboHelp Instructor and I offer
on-line virtual training. If you are interested, feel free to
contact me at rstone75 (at) kc (dot) rr (dot) com.
I know what you mean, it's ironic that a premier techincal
documentation/help system has such a complete lack of meaningful
documentation. It would be really nice if Adobe would put together
some online documentation that their new users could find that
discusses how to use all the features and functionality of this
cool product.
I suggest the "Essentials of Adobe RoboHelp 7 HTML" by Kevin
Siegel of Iconlogic. It is a "skills and drills" workbook that is
well formatted and easy enough to follow on your own. Amazon.com
has it for $39.
Hello Margielf,
I am actually looking to learn RH too. I worked with RH5 last
year to update existing files but struggled with it, especially
since I do not have any HTML background. I am in the Philadelphia
region and there is a company offering training toward the end of
February - www.brookwood.com. They appear to be a certified
Macromedia/Adobe training facility.
There are a lot of details in both FrameMaker and RoboHelp.
Let me concur with the IconLogic book AND Rick Stone's
excellent instruction.
I've been using FM for about five years now and RH is new.
But with these excellent resources I think I've graduated to a
"2nd-level" RH user.
