Question
How to convert FrameMaker document into online helpfile using FrameMaker options?

Answer
Rakhi,

Converting Framemaker to on-line help will depend on what
help system you are using. Usually, you will want to
write out the Framemaker file as HTML or XML, then convert
that to your on-line help format.

PDF output is another possibility.

For on-line help to work properly, you need to make sure that
each of your sections is marked with a Marker, and that you
have created a table of contents.

Some help systems accept HTML input. Versions of Framemaker
6.0 and later have the ability to export HTML, so you might
be able to use that.

If you are using Windows RoboHelp, then you'll need to convert
the Framemaker document to Word format. Save the Framemaker
file as .RTF, then import that into Word.
