HelpStudio provides you with an effortless way to create great help systems, which means that anyone who can use a word processor or HTML editor will be comfortable authoring help with HelpStudio.

HelpStudio has been carefully designed to maximize your productivity whilst not requiring any knowledge of the technical aspects of help file compilation. You get to concentrate on pure content creation, saving time and money on every project.

Find and Replace, Spell check and Hyperlink verification can be run on the entire project, ensuring that your help systems need never ship with spelling errors or broken links.

Build flags (conditional content) can be used to mark content, files or table of contents nodes in order to create multiple versions of a help system (perhaps a 'Lite' and a 'Professional' version) from the same project.

What's New in This Release:

· Full Page Edit: Author topics directly within a preview of the generated Topic. True WYSIWYG, but retaining the benefits of Template based authoring.
· Full Unicode Support: HelpStudio now works entirely in Unicode and allows you to create and build help systems in any language.
· New Hyperlink Designer: Redesigned hyperlink designer makes it easy to construct links to Topics, Document! X content, URLs, bookmarks and other help files. For Document! X integration, the hyperlink designer includes a full Document! X tree view for creating hyperlinks to target members.
· Improved pure HTML output: HelpStudio now creates a dynamic (collapsible) Table of Contents, Hierarchical Index and Full Text Search for browser based output.
· Improved Project Explorer: The project explorer now includes a find tool for finding topics, files and images. Images are grouped by folder for easier navigation and organization. Drag and drop has been improved to include a visual placement marker that allows nodes to be accurately dragged anywhere on the tree view.

· Build Flags: Mark Topics, Nodes and portions of content in order to conditionally include them in one or more Build Profiles.
· Project wide dynamic spell checking: The Project Explorer, Table of Contents editor, Glossary Editor, Topic Links and Topic keywords are all dynamically spell checked, making it simple to correct spelling errors as you work.
