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 Topics

General topics about RoboHelp functionality.

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 Tour

This started as a brief guide to what was new and what had changed in each new version. When the New UI came along in RoboHelp 2019 everything had changed!

The RoboHelp Tour for the 2019 version covered all the features and was pretty much a tutorial. Then for later versions it seemed the best thing to do was duplicate those topics and update them as necessary, along with adding new topics for new features.

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. These topics might still have some life in them so here they are.

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.
