These are the minimum requirements for computers on which you install the Author-it 5.0 program.

System Requirements

  • Windows XP with Service Pack 2, or Windows Vista (32-bit)
  • 1 GHz processor or better

  • Microsoft Mouse or compatible pointing device.
  • Microsoft Word XP, Word 2003, or Word 2007 (required for Word document publishing and importing only).

Note: Author-it can be run on a machine with lower specifications, however the performance will not be optimized and some processes will be slower.

Runtime File System Space

Allow at least 100 Mb of hard disk space on each computer for the application files and client components.

Allow More Space If You're Using JavaHelp

If you are publishing your documents in JavaHelp format, you'll also need to install the JavaSoft Runtime Environment on any computers which need to display published JavaHelp files. Allow another 80 Mb for this.
