Description
The Help Generator offers a comprehensive suite of tools designed for creating CHM help files, web-based assistance, and printed user manuals. Its contemporary editing interface, influenced by Office aesthetics, is packed with features that enhance productivity and ensure high-quality results. You can utilize the WYSIWYG (HTML) Help Editor, which features a modern Windows fluent ribbon for seamless editing. With the Help Generator, you can create standard Windows help files, often referred to as CHM files or compiled HTML help, as well as online help for any Windows application. The accompanying add-in generates a detailed topic page for each form within your application, complete with a title, a screenshot featuring an image map, and sections dedicated to all controls. Notably, the pages produced by this add-in are automatically integrated with your application, providing immediate F1 support for context-sensitive help. Additionally, there are add-in versions compatible with Visual Studio .NET, Visual Basic 6, and Microsoft Access, making it a versatile option for different development environments. This flexibility allows developers to streamline the documentation process, ensuring that users have easy access to the information they need.
Description
LockStep offers a user-friendly and swift authoring interface that incorporates all the integrated editors available in WinSequence Enterprise. It allows for direct image capture using compatible cameras, similar to WinSequence Enterprise. However, LockStep targets smaller businesses that require a straightforward, single-user desktop solution for creating and exporting formatted PDF instructions. Both LockStep and the enterprise offerings share the same data model, making it seamless to upgrade to the enterprise suite when necessary. This upgrade often occurs when there is a demand for a network-capable multi-user solution for writers, the need for electronic work instructions accessible via web browser in the production environment, or when integration with other IT systems is sought. Notably, WinSequence Enterprise maintains the same interface as the LockStep application, ensuring that only minimal additional training is needed to utilize the expanded functionalities of WinSequence. This makes the transition not only smooth but also efficient for users familiar with LockStep.
