Requirements

In order to run this product you need the following:

  • Windows 7 or newer or Windows Server 2012 and newer

  • Microsoft HTML Help Workshop
    HTML Help Workshop is required in order to compile CHM files. It provides the official MS HTML Help 1.0 compiler. You can download Workshop from Microsoft (about 4 megs).

Optional Third Party Integrations

  • Microsoft Word for PDF and MS Word Output
    If you plan on generating output for MS Word or PDF documentation you will also need a copy of Microsoft Word 2010 or later. Help Builder automates Word to generate your documentation in Word and PDF format.

    Note: MS Word is not required for generating HTML or HTML Help output - it's required only for PDF and MSWORD output!

  • SnagIt from TechSmith for Screen Captures
    SnagIt is a powerful screen capture utility that makes it extremely easy to capture screen shots, mark them up and embed them in Help Builder using our SnagIt integration.

    Although Help Builder includes native screen capturing, using SnagIt provides a much richer capture and image editing experience. SnagIt operation is directly integrated with Help Builder so your image captures can pull images directly into your help content.

Note: Paste any Images from the Clipboard
You can use Alt-PrintScreen to capture the active Window, Ctrl-PrintScreen to capture the full screen, Copy Image in most browsers, or use any image capture application including SnagIt to capture images to the clipboard. To embed these clipboard images, you can simply paste them (Ctrl-V) at the current cursor position in the Markdown editor.
