RE: Compiling FM into help files (wfp file)
I have a copy of the old WebWorks ePublisher Pro version 9.2 if you need it. It produces .chm files. People in this group were kind enough to give it to me, which was a lifesaver for a project! I needed to put that version on a new computer but WebWorks no longer supported it so they suggested I go to the forum and ask if anyone had it. Let me know if you need it. -Original Message- From: framers-boun...@lists.frameusers.com [mailto:framers-boun...@lists.frameusers.com] On Behalf Of Steve Johnson Sent: Wednesday, January 12, 2011 2:10 PM To: Anton David Cc: framers@lists.frameusers.com Subject: Re: Compiling FM into help files (wfp file) I believe that's the WebWorks project file and it predates 9.x so it might be WebWorks Publisher 2003 or something like that, which Quadralay no longer supports.

Help Tools
I have been using WebWorks epublisher Pro version 9.2 to convert our FrameMaker documents into online help for our applications. Recently my laptop started having problems and they are moving me to a new laptop. The writer who installed epublisher on my laptop is no longer with the company and we can’t find the CD with a serial number. I noticed a version of WebWorks comes on the FrameMaker 7.2 CD but it is called WebWorks Standard. I thought maybe this is where the WebWorks came from. Is WebWorks Standard the same as ePublisher pro? Even if it is, no serial number I find on any of our CDs seems to work with it and Adobe can’t seem to help me. When I go to the WebWorks page I can’t get help there either because I don’t have a maintenance contract. I don’t think WebWorks actually *wants* customers. When I try to find out how much it costs to buy a new copy, no prices are listed unless you have a sales person call you. We don’t have phones in our office. I am pretty fed up with it all and am thinking of moving the help to a new platform. Can you suggest another help platform that works well with FrameMaker files and looks similar to ePublisher? I need to produce online help in both .chm files and html files. Pam Reichert ___ You are currently subscribed to framers as arch...@mail-archive.com.

RE: Help Tools
All, Thanks everyone for your suggestions with my Help tools question. I will definitely look into Mif2Go and I've used RoboHelp in the past, although it has been quite a few years so I'll need a trial download. I will also give WebWorks another try...maybe I can get some help from them. Again, thanks for your input. I do appreciate it!
