Hi,

Could someone please recommend a good software to create help files? Also,
if it possible to embed other files i.e. Excel, PDF etc, into CHM or HLP
files?

Thank you.

Microsoft Visual Studio.NET provides a HTML Help composer kind of
application. But maybe you can download it from download.microsoft.com
too.

Good luck

You can use HTML Help Workshop for creating CHM files:

Associating Help with an Application
<http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/en-us/dnvssamp/html/vbcs_AssociatingHelpwithanApplication.asp>

You will find some samples at:

<http://www.mvps.org/htmlhelpcenter/>

Microsoft HTML Help Downloads
<http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/d...tmlhelp/html/hwMicrosoftHTMLHelpDownloads.asp>

IMO it doesn't make sense to include Excel and PDF files into CHM files...
