Microsoft has tools for creating CHM files (aka HTML Help files).
The HTML Help Workshop and documentation:

You can't create CHMs directly from Word documents. You create them from
HTML files, but since you can save Word documents to HTML, that shouldn't be
much of a problem.

Basically, that will work, but I do not recommend to use Word as HTML
editor ;-).

(using HTML Help Workshop. It is very easy to follow.

I would also suggest not using Word for an HTML Editor. I use Frontpage
myselft, but there are lots of editors out there to use.

Nor do I, most certainly!

Hi all

why not use notepad, that's still the best html editor lol but the
sad thing is in school we actually learned html in notepad, although
it may sound weird I also benefited from learning it in notepad
because now I know almost all tags by heart. But I'm getting a little
OT now
But maybe Dreamweaver (MX) is a bit more user friendly to generate
htm(l) files, and sorry for the frontpage lovers, it doesn't generate
a whole lot of crap as my frontpage used to do.

I just want advise to use something simpler than HTML Help Workshop.
For example Abee CHM Maker http://abeetech.com/chmmakerpro/
It is very easy in use.
