Review | Help & Manual 4.3
You'll also find poweful editing features for your images and links, etc. Help & Manual interfaces perfectly with the Windows context menus so that you can easily make changes. You'll also find helpful additions to dialogs. For example, when adding an image to your documentation, Help & Manual includes options in the Open Image dialog (see Figure 3) that allow you to define topics, a tooltip and caption, etc. for the image in one step. It's the little things like this that make the workflow in Help & Manual so wonderful.

You'll also find an integrated hotspot editor accessible by right-clicking an image you've already inserted or by clicking the Hotspots button in the lower-right corner of the Open Image dialog. Also included is a basic image editing application called Impict. For simple tasks, it's sufficient, but you'll want a full featured image editing application for more advanced editing. You're not tied to Impict; If you would like to use a different image editing application for inline editing of images in Help & Manual, you can configure that easily in the options dialog for Help & Manual.
Output
When it's time to create your documentation, Help & Manual shines once again. Output formats are plentiful (see Figure 4) and output is professional. The Browser-based Help format is a nice touch and you can see an example of that by reviewing the online documentation for Help & Manual.

Because Help & Manual has full Unicode support, you can produce documentation in up to 106 different languages.
Conclusion
If you have a need to provide online or printed documentation for any purpose, Help & Manual is by far the best solution around. There are other products with bigger names, but none of them can touch the features and ease-of-use in Help & Manual, and Help & Manual will save you some serious money over the competition. Help & Manual is a clear winner and I highly recommend it.
