H&M 5.4 Released

[Tim Green]

Help & Manual 5.4 has now been released with several major new features:

• Programmers can now import Microsoft Sandcastle projects directly.
• New Manual Designer for PDF with automatic alignment guides, object groups, link actions (make every object a link), bookmarks (make any section an Adobe Reader bookmarks TOC entry) and object anchors (anchor object borders to margins or page borders for fluid layouts).
• Map styles of imported RTF files to existing styles.
• A large number of smaller improvements and fixes.

This is a free update for all registered version 5 users. See here for details:

Currently we are using the old 4.5.1 version of H%M, but are thinking of updating to the newest version.
Is there a trial version available? Where?
Are there special update conditions/prices for an 4.5.1 --> 5.4 update?

Thank You.

Hi TimTom,

You can download the free trial version on this page. Note that there's only one installation file for all versions, including the free trial. You unlock your purchased version by entering your license keys. You can also install H&M 5 on the same computer as H&M 4, just don't try to install them in the same folder. We also recommend this as it enables you to make the transition at your own speed instead of switching over directly.

You can see the upgrade prices in your local currency and purchase your upgrade on this page. Just select your current version in the drop-down list to see the available upgrade options.
