would like a recommendation or ideas
hi
I've got a client who use word for book creation i.e. User books which demand TOC, indexes, chapter creation leading to putting the whole book together. Master/Sub documents do not work for them in consolidating all elements of the book. They've had someone create a few macros for them to automate parts of the work but will soon not have access to that person. A company I used to work for had developed a custom version of word that automated everything. Unfortunately it is supported only up to word 97 version - it would have been perfect for them. Can anyone recommend an off-the-shelf custom version of word that would automate long document creation without the user having to create all of the code? thanks for your help |

Hi Julie:
There are a variety of off-the-shelf products. One I am prepared to recommend is RoboHelp. However, the sort of user who would need RoboHelp to do this for them will find RoboHelp too complex to learn. I (and several of the other MVPs here) actually sell commercial solutions that do this, customised to the needs of each individual customer. If you would like more detail, please send me an email. It is not appropriate for me to be "advertising" in this newsgroup :-) Cheers -- Please reply to the newsgroup to maintain the thread. Please do not email me unless I ask you to.
