Review
HelpSmith is a complete help authoring tool, which you can use to create HTML Help (CHM) files, Web Help (browser-based) systems, Printed Manuals, PDFs, and Word RTF documents from a single source help project. The main features of HelpSmith are: a built-in word processor with dynamic styles and live spell-checker, full Unicode support, topic templates, variables, an advanced approach to working with graphical and video files, and many other useful tools.

With HelpSmith, you can create help files for your products easily. HelpSmith includes a professional feature-set, which is combined with an easy-to-use interface. Thus, using the built-in editors, you will be able to create the Table of Contents and alphabetical Index of your help systems in minutes. Also, you will be able to integrate your HTML Help or Web Help system with your application and provide context-sensitive Help.

Designed as a regular office application, HelpSmith enables creation of high quality help systems and documents without the knowledge of many technical details. For example, you do not have to manually code HTML or CSS in order to create technical documentation. At the same time, experienced technical writers still have the possibility to insert custom HTML code. Thus, HelpSmith is a help authoring tool that makes it possible for you to truly concentrate on writing.
