I like the online help for Excel 2007 and want to leverage it for my own
documentation. However, it is too much information for my user audience. Is
there a way I can get access to the CHM files so I can modify it for my own
use?

Thanks.

Not legally. The chm files are subject to Microsoft copyrights, and
they have a LONG history of not allowing anyone else to modify their
copyrighted materials. I doubt your department could afford what it'd
need to pay to get Microsoft's permission to alter these files.

Hyperlinks in your documentation maybe?
Saves: typing and copyright problems at the expense/inconvenience of
requiring your audience to have an internet connection available to use those
hyperlinks.
