Adobe RoboHelp Beginner Training (Live Online)
Adobe RoboHelp Beginner Training
This live, hands-on, instructor-led, Adobe RoboHelp course is designed for the beginner to intermediate RoboHelp user and will teach you the essential skills needed to create and deliver user assistance as Help systems, policies and procedures guides, knowledge bases, and more.
You will learn to create RoboHelp projects from scratch and how to add content by importing content from Microsoft Word and HTML files. You’ll learn to enhance content with graphics, and multimedia, and how to improve user navigation by adding hyperlinks, indexes, and glossaries.
You’ll improve your production efficiency by learning about cascading style sheets, variables, snippets, and master pages.
This class is project-based and fully interactive. You will be able to speak with and hear from the instructor and fellow attendees as you work in real-time to complete activities within RoboHelp.
We’ll work in class to produce our own help system. View the finished product here.
Our public classes teach the most recent version of RoboHelp. If you are using an older version of Adobe RoboHelp, contact us about private training and mentoring at 888.812.4827. If you are using an older version of RoboHelp, you can still attend this class. Download the free RoboHelp trial for this course (new and legacy versions of RoboHelp can co-exist on the same computer). Your instructor will be happy to touch upon the differences between the different software versions throughout the course.
To attend this RoboHelp class, all you’ll need to do is internet access, a headset, and the RoboHelp software. You can download the free trial version of RoboHelp from http://www.adobe.com/products/robohelp/try.html . We will provide the course workbook and all of the course assets. While not a requirement, virtual students often find it helpful to attend this class using two computer monitors. This will allow for one screen to always display the presenter's screen, and the other for you to use as you follow along with the instructor
Where is this class held?
This is a live, online class led by a field expert; and just like an in-person class, it is fully interactive and engaging. What's the difference between an online/virtual class and an onsite class? Nothing... except no travel. If you have a reliable Internet connection, you can participate in our virtual classes from anywhere in the world. Many of our students choose to stay home from work on these training days, some never even changing out of their slippers! Where applicable, students are able to speak with and hear from the instructor and other participants throughout the course as they work in real-time to complete activities.
