The user interface
The user interface
HelpNDoc’s user interface is very straightforward. If you know how to use a word processor, such as Microsoft Word or OpenOffice.org Writer, and Windows Explorer, you’ll be right at home in HelpNDoc.

The Variables Feature
The Variables Feature
The built-in variables feature allows you to define reusable/replaceable text. You assign a word, phrase, or paragraph to a variable and then insert the variable in multiple locations wherever you want to use that word, phrase, or paragraph. If the text ever needs to be changed, you only have to change the variable definition and your entire documentation project is updated.
