Doc-To-Help 2009 enables technical communicators, policy writers, and
other content creators to author in Doc-To-Help's XML-based editor, Microsoft
Word, or HTML, (with new or existing documents) and publish to the Web, Help
systems, or printed manuals with a single click. Unlike other companies who
force users to buy multiple tools to get your job done, Doc-To-Help bundles
all its features into one self-contained product. The benefits are a
diminished learning curve plus time and cost savings.

"Doc-To-Help continues to evolve aggressively, mostly in response to user
demands, which is why it is the preferred tool," said Dan Beall, Doc-To-Help
product manager. "The initial release of Doc-To-Help 2009 added a ribbon
interface and an XML-based editor, which were very significant technology
upgrades. Our focus is to continue to deliver the industry's most trusted
product with the powerful functionality users demand."

New User Guidance

The project creation process is now automated with the Getting Started
Wizard. Whether a user wants to start a project from scratch or import
existing documents, this wizard walks through the process, step-by-step.

Document Import and Management

Today's release of Doc-To-Help 2009 v2 offers users the option of
importing multiple documents at once, rather than importing them one at a
time. Additionally, Doc-To-Help will automatically add the documents to the
correct project folder. Doc-To-Help can also convert multiple documents to
XHTML with a single click.

Editor Enhancements

The built-in editor, introduced in Doc-To-Help 2009, is designed to give
authors an experience that allows them to focus on doing what they do best:
write the content they need to produce.

Doc-To-Help 2009 v2 will now check your spelling as you type in 21
different languages. When creating hyperlinks, you can choose the appropriate
target window. A Word-like style gallery makes style selection and editing
simple and organizes style sheets logically.

Streamlined Project Management

The demand to make content and project management more efficient was the
driving force behind Doc-To-Help 2009 v2 new project wizard, enhanced file
management, and updated ribbons. The new project wizard allows the user to
automate the project creation process, while the enhanced file management
organizes project files in a convenient "My Doc-To-Help Projects" folder. The
