G Guest Nov 4, 2004 #1 Is there a way to convert a .DOC document to a .HLP (windows Help) in Windows XP professional?
G Guest Nov 5, 2004 #2 I have no idea if this will work with your version of Word: http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;140875 If you want to create a chm help file you can download the HTML Help program from http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkId=14498 for info: http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/library/en-us/htmlhelp/html/vsconhh1start.asp There are also 3rd party utilities which claim to convert files to hlp files. Hope this helps Nick

As a minimum, you'll need to get Microsoft Help Workshop, which is available from here: http://www.helpmaster.com/hlp-developmentaids-hcw403.htm This comes with a Help Author's Guide that provides extensive information on how to build WinHelp files. You may also find these sites useful: http://helpware.net/htmlhelp/basics.htm http://tinyurl.com/3lhs5 http://www.mshelpwiki.com/index.php?page=WinHelp http://www.thebits.org/tutorials/bhelp.asp It's also quite a good idea to get the WinHelp decompiler from: http://www.helpmaster.com/help-developmentaids-helpdeco.htm You can point this at any .hlp file on your system and extract the source files -- and then see how the author put the file together.
