We have just released Doc-To-Help 2010 v2, the second subscription update of the year. This update focuses on support for Microsoft's latest technology as well as usability updates. Below is an overview of the new things you can do with Doc-To-Help 2010:
*
Use Microsoft Word 2010
Microsoft will soon release Word 2010 and you can rest assured that you will be able to use their new release with Doc-To-Help. In fact, you can already use Doc-To-Help with Microsoft Word 2010 Beta.
*
Produce Microsoft Help Viewer Output
Microsoft recently released Visual Studio 2010 and with it, they delivered a brand new Help format called Microsoft Help Viewer. Doc-To-Help is one of the first to support this format. If you need to create Help compatible with Visual Studio 2010, Doc-To-Help is your tool.
*
Use Doc-To-Help with Microsoft Team Foundation Server 2010
We first released support of Microsoft Team Foundation Server earlier this year and we have already updated it to support the new 2010 version. Use this integration to manage all aspects of your project in the industry standard source control system. Doc-To-Help gives you an interface to all of Team Foundation Server’s features (i.e., versioning, history, comparison) so you can rest easy when planning team projects. Note that Doc-To-Help also includes its own team authoring support feature for those who do not wish to use Team Foundation Server.

Convert Any RoboHelp Project to XHTML
Doc-To-Help has long been recognized as the tool of choice for RoboHelp users looking for alternatives. Our RoboHelp project converter would convert RoboHelp HTML to a Doc-To-Help HTML source project and, likewise, a RoboHelp Word project to a Doc-To-Help Word source project. Now, you can convert any RoboHelp project to XHTML for editing in Doc-To-Help’s built-in editor. Try it. You won’t find a better conversion tool.
*
Don’t Worry About Lists; We Have Improved Support
Lists (bulleted or numbered) are a thorn in an author’s side. Seemingly simple tasks such as restarting numbering and nesting lists can become difficult in any editor. Doc-To-Help 2010 now allows you choose to continue or restart numbering as well as create nested lists without problem. Additionally, lists are preserved when converting a source from RoboHelp, Word, or HTML to XHTML.
*
Click a Button; Get Collapsible Sections
The ability to configure expanding/collapsing sections in any editing environment is a very popular Doc-To-Help feature. Until now, users had to find and apply the appropriate styles to add this functionality to their content. Now, all it takes is a simple click of a button on the Doc-To-Help (or Insert) toolbar.
*
Keep Track of Topic Size with Word Count
We have added a useful word count tool to Doc-To-Help's built-in editor.
