Just FYI, I tried opening the file on my Vista SP1 machine, and every page in the help file has been giving me a "The address is not valid" error. It'd be a great resource, but it doesn't seem to work for me. Any suggestions?

Hi - thanks for trying it out! The error you received is a known issue with CHM downloads. To get the file to open correctly, save it locally (don't open it directly), and then when you double-click the file to open it, be sure you clear the "Always ask before opening this file" check box. For more information, see the "Instructions" section on the download page.

Authoring environment

Hi!

You say you changed your authoring environment. I'm curious. What authoring environment do you folks use their at MS? Do you use a component content management system, or is documentation still produced as entire "documents," that is, in order to re-use content from one document in another you must copy & paste?

Sharepoint is a document management application, but how do you actually compose the documents?

Thanks!

Jason

We use a proprietary authoring system developed in house.

Hello, all. I'm a tech editor on the IT Pro team, and we were wondering if an index would be useful in such .chm files.

When .chm files will be updated to the actual technical library content? It will not be monthly?
