HelpNDoc to rozbudowane narzędzie do tworzenia plików pomocy, dokumentów, podręczników oraz instrukcji obsługi.
Program oferuje wygodny w obsłudze interfejs użytkownika, wyglądem zbliżonym do komercyjnego pakietu Microsoft Office. Na szczególną uwagę zasługuje również ogromna ilość dostępnych funkcji i narzędzi wspomagających tworzenie projektów i różnych plików pomocy (z możliwością ich publikacji w Internecie).
W programie znajdziemy niezbędne narzędzia do tworzenia zaawansowanych i profesjonalnych dokumentacji, podręczników czy nawet instrukcji obsługi. Wśród nich warto wymienić funkcję do tworzenia spisu treści, edytor WYSIWYG, a także wbudowane moduły do sprawdzania pisowni (również dostępne w języku polskim) i edytowania słów kluczowych.
HelpNDoc tworzy pliki pomocy w formacie CHM, dokumenty PDF i DOC, książki oraz podręczniki w ePub lub Kindle, a także inne dokumentacje w formacie HTML. Do tworzonego projektu możemy wstawiać różne tabele, kod HTML, symbole, obrazki, a nawet pliki wideo. Poza tym nie mogło w nim zabraknąć rozbudowanego edytora tekstowego, za pomocą którego możemy szybko i wygodnie pisać dokumentację, podręczniki lub bardziej złożone instrukcje obsługi.
