I am very sorry for this noob question but this is really my first step in building a help for an application. I have built an application with a nice documentation in a .doc format , that users can read  outside the application I got feedback from users : they need this help inside the application. After trying some software, it appears that Word-2-CHM converter you propose suits my first need, which is to transform my .doc into a .chm file. Before buying 1-3 licenses, I need to check if  I can integrate the produced .chm into my application. Here starts the trouble: I have a set of Windows forms. in Each forms , I Inserted a HelpProvider Component from visual studio Toolbox. I would like to do a simple thing : I have a car data input form,  I have a car data entry in my documentation . When user press F1 when entering data in the car  form, i would like that .CHM  opens and positions itself at the correct entry, the "car data entry" For the moment , i can just only open the .CHM file but  i am unable to display ilmmediately the correct entry Word-2-CHM created a .cs file  in which  my word paragraph for car input data  has been assigned  an enum value  ( 1012 for example) What should i do with this value ? How to use it in  csharp, in my application ? Thanks really if you can help me. Ps : I don't see any .ini file generated . Is it a limitation of trial verison ?    Report

The .ini file: Please click the "Save" button in Word-2-CHM to save to a .word2chm file first. Then the .ini will be created when you create the chm file. Using help id in c# 1. for the HelpProvider HelpNamespace = your chm file 2. for controls on car data input form: HelpKeyword = 1012 HelpNavigator = TopicId HelpString =    Report

I am evaluating the software for my organization.  This seems to do what we want, except the following: Every time I insert a new topic in the document and regenerate the help file, all indices of the topics that come after the new topic change.   This means that I have to change the HelpKeyword and recompile my code. Is there a way to keep the indices the same and generate new indices for new topics only? Thanks.    Report

And choose "Auto Help ID" as any no "None" item. The Help ID will be saved for re-generation. Please refer to http://word-2-chm.com/doc2010/topics/UsinContSensHelpInYourProg.html    Report
