Peter Grainge's Site

My site covers a wide range of content from useful little gems of information to complete tutorials about technical authoring generally and RoboHelp related topics in particular.

In January 2024 I changed the site from being produced in Dreamweaver to producing it in RoboHelp. Many links on Adobe's RoboHelp Forum will be broken as a result. The organisation of contents is broadly the same so the TOC and Search should enable you to find what you are looking for.

Site Guide

About Me and This Site

A bit about me and how the site evolved.

RoboHelp Tour

RoboHelp version by version with step by step instructions for the new UI versions.

RoboHelp Topics

General topics about RoboHelp functionality. 

RoboHelp Tutorial

Beth Gerber of Lightext Inc has created the first of three tutorials about using RoboHelp. If you haven't used RoboHelp before, you really should start here.

RoboHelp Gems

This used to be known as Snippets but then Adobe introduced a feature called Snippets, leading to some confusion. To get round that, I have renamed this page RoboHelp Gems.

RoboHelp Issues

Issues found in various versions. It is not a complete list, just the more important ones and, where known, any workaround.

General Authoring Topics

These topics are authoring related but not specific to RoboHelp.

Archived Topics

Overtime some of the topics I have created are no longer relevant to the versions I would expect to be in use. Occasionally though someone will post about a long forgotten version.

Serendipity

This started as a means of sharing photos with family and friends. Now I tend to just use a tablet but these photos remain.

Contact

I see all posts on Adobe's RoboHelp Forum and that is where I prefer to help RoboHelp users. If there is a need to contact me direct, please read what is posted on my contact page first.

You do not have to pay to use the information on this site but it does take a lot of time to maintain and there are costs.

The price of a beer or a coffee is fine.
