Sometimes the biggest problem with developing custom applications is explaining how to use them. Integrators have long resorted to creating nonintuitive word-processing documents and scribbled notes to try and teach the neophyte user how to properly navigate an application.

EC Software has tackled that problem with Help & Manual, a help-authoring and document-generation tool that can be used to quickly create intuitive, context-sensitive help documents. Those documents can be compiled into manuals or integrated directly into applications.

Solution providers will find the product as easy to use as a traditional word processor, yet capable of building in the hyperlinks and search capabilities that users have come to expect in a modern help system.
