This book is concise and gets you up to speed with RoboHELP quickly. As a technical writer that is just starting out, I needed a book that would teach me enough about RoboHELP so that I could add it to my resume with confidence. This book accomplishes this task quite well.

By the end of the first chapter, I already felt confident creating projects, topics, and links. This is the core of RoboHELP.

I advise you to read several chapters before installing the demo version of RoboHELP HTML as it is timed to last only 15 days. I had almost finished the book, but the demo time had run out. I just called Blue-Sky (makers of Robohelp) and they gladly sent me another 15 day trial disk. :) Don't be afraid to ask!

Great book and highly recommended. Skip the more complex ones, you don't need it.

Just a friendly warning that this is for the old 1998 version and not the version that started shipping in 2007.

RoboHELP for Dummies does an excellent job of teaching. Whether you are just learning RoboHelp or are an experienced user, this book will certainly come in handy. I am moving up in my company and needed to learn RoboHelp fast. This book taught me everything I needed to know real fast and was straight forward. There is no useless information in this book that will cause you to get bored or confused when reading it.
