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.
 
Hi Keith

This article will walk you through the makings of a basic CHM Help file
(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.

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.
