For true single-sourcing.

WebWorks Publisher WordHelp is the first and only true single-source solution for Word because it converts Word documents into sophisticated online help systems with no importing or editing required, and enables multiple versions of a help system to be deployed from a single Word document.

Revolutionizing Online Help System Delivery From Microsoft Word

WebWorks Publisher WordHelp’s unique single-source features set a new standard for online help system delivery toolsets. One of the key elements of WordHelp’s single-source model is its conditional text capability.

Conditional text literally extends the functionality of Microsoft Word to enable authors to deliver online help systems for multiple platforms and even for related suites of applications from a single Word document source file. Conditional text totally eliminates the need to write and maintain a separate help document for each different application platform, such as Windows, UNIX and Apple Macintosh.

The conditional text feature also eliminates the tedious duplication required in authoring for suites of related applications that have common functionality. In addition, on-going maintenance is dramatically reduced and simplified because authors need only modify a single source document to automatically deploy updated online help systems for multiple platforms and/or applications.

"WordHelp also makes it fast and easy for help authors to deliver context sensitive online help systems that let users access relevant help information from within an application," commented Jeff Stockett, CEO of Quadralay. "WordHelp extends the capabilities of Word to let writers link help topic content directly to application functions. As a result, they can automatically deliver context sensitive help systems that meet the needs of all users - from novices to the most experienced power users with the touch of a button."

A New Conversion Paradigm

Unlike earlier partial solutions, WebWorks Publisher WordHelp does not require the cumbersome import of source documents before conversion to online format. As a result, conversions are simpler, cleaner and faster, and any edits and changes made to the source document are automatically incorporated into online output every time. So with WordHelp, authors never need to repeat edit steps or duplicate them across multiple source documents.

WordHelp’s unique Style Designer module gives help authors total control over the look and feel of their online help systems.
