Can I write my own help files (.hlp) for Excel workbooks?

[BobM]

I have an Excel workbook that needs some instructions with it, and I was
wondering if it's possible to write my own help (.hlp) files for the users to
use.

Yes you can.

Most easy is to use an extra worksheet in the file, with some hyperlinks and
the possibility to search.

If you want to go further (use VBA), I remember seeing it in John
Walkenbach's "Power programming with VBA in Excel".

Thanks - I'll investigate the VBA option, and go with the extra sheet in the
Excel file if I can't get what I need with VBA.

Both Well Worth the price!
