We're concerned about the OmniHelp files on the theory that if people can do
something, someone will. That could be a completely unfounded concern, so I'm
glad to hear opinions to the contrary

AIRHelp as I used it a few years ago was not viable for users who had no
Internet access; the .exe file looks for an update whenever it is launched.
You'd be surprised how many users are out there without 'net access, especially
govt and govt contractors. There may be a way to make it behave now

If you've already got MIF2Go generating EclipseHelp, how your docs are
structured is of no concern. Adding a second or third output format in
MIF2Go is a very minor task compared with the first.

If you have an index and context-sensitive help already in
EclipseHelp, you should be able to generate those with OmniHelp
without having to modify your FrameMaker source at all.

OmniHelp is web help. "Web help" is not a standard format but a
generic term for help deliverables that use HTML and JavaScript.
RoboHelp, Flare, and WebWorks ePublisher all have their own
proprietary versions of web help, in some cases several versions.
Which language in Visual Studio? It support
Shift + left/right arrow selects one letter or space at the time.
Shift + Ctrl + left/right arrow selects an entire word.
I don’t think this is anything new – it works the same way in Word. You
are right though that Word offers an option to automatically select the
entire word, but that is in
Cheers Matt,
Yes I totally agree with your 'bottom line' -
But surely this is a bug? The Character Designer dialog box (or "pod" as they
seem to want to call it now) just simply isn't behaving consistently and doing
what it says it does.
There is nothing I can see about this issue in the user doc
If you're keen to go back to school - try learning structured writing - FM is
just the tool to start with doing that if you're already familiar with it.

Thanks, Jeremy. You're helpful as always.
More clarification: we're planning to just set up a button or a menu item in
the VS-based user interface that triggers the help system, and the help system
will run in its own application not in VS, so we shouldn't be forced to use MS
Help Viewer.

It is possible. In the Adobe FrameMaker forums, there's a subforum for
Content Management Systems where the SharePoint Connector has been
discussed from time to time.

Played with this on an old version of SP, and it worked, but didn't work
well. The problems, ASFAIK were all on the SP side and were related to
tangled corporate IT permissions -- they didn't quite know how to set it up
so mere tech writers could use it.
If you're using a SP 2010 or newer and say
