    Which Tool Was Used for Zoom Help - Robohelp & Zoom

    Guys,

    I do a lot of webhelp format documentation using RoboHelp as the generator. Many years back I replaced their poor search with Zoom. However after a long struggle I gave up on having the search form and results appear in the left-hand navigation pane (instead it uses the right-hand pane where content is also shown.

    Today I invoked help is Zoom 5 and noticed that your help has a similar look and feel to webhelp but has the search exactly where it should be. May I ask what software tools you use to create your help (or is it a handcrafted gem)?

    We used Help & Manual to create our help files.

    But one of our users wrote a nice tutorial on how to use Zoom with Adobe RoboHelp, and it may be of interest:

        Interesting app, many many thanks, but you guys are too modest.
