RoboHelp Office

RoboHelp Office, previously known as WinHelp Office, was a series of software suites released by Blue Sky Software, then EHelp Corporation and Macromedia.

Product history
RoboHELP 2.6 was bundled with a Help Compiler in May 1994 to eliminate the need for a 3rd-party development environment to create help files. This trend continued with RoboHELP 3 being bundled with WinHelp Video Kit in March 1995. RoboHELP 95 became available as part of WinHelp Office 95. When RoboHELP 5.5 began shipping on March 16, 1998, WinHelp Office was renamed to RoboHELP Office 5.5. Some versions, such as RoboHELP 2000, were only available in an office suite.

eHelp Corporation introduced RoboHelp Enterprise as a server-based enhancement for the RoboHelp 9 office suite. This was renamed Office Pro with the RoboHelp X4 suite.



Macromedia RoboHelp X5, released by Macromedia in late January 2004, was the last version to feature an office suite. Future versions of Adobe RoboHelp included the office features as part of the standard package and spun off the server-based Office Pro product into RoboHelp Server.
