Okay, that’s a start. But, let’s get our thinking caps on—as we mentioned in the original post, creativity counts. And, everyone knows we technical communicators are a creative bunch.

To borrow from Maxwell Smart: “Missed by that much.”
Meatloaf sang 3 out of 4 aint bad, but in this case swapping Robosmell for Webworks is a loser. If I want to be old fashioned and create two content databases, I can create much better help with DreamWeaver or, my old favorite, Homesite than I can with RoboHelp.
Even RJ Jacquez said the best tool for single sourcing from Frame was Webworks.

Now this is quite interesting..Let me think… Hmmmm.. How about ADOBE MARC or ADOBE INDITE or say ADOBE HELP Suite

I’m probably too late but what the heck ... TechAuthor or TechControlCentral.

my after-the-fact suggestion would be: Adobe FACR (pronounced fay-zer - yeah the star trek device), following the trend for truncated product names (Framemaker, Acrobat, Captivate, Robohelp).
