I have writen a Visual Basic Macro running within Excel 2002 which contains
several UserForms, ComboBoxes, and ListBoxes.
I wish to create Custom Help Files for my macro w/ "What's This" buttons to
guide the end user through my program.
I can't seam to figure out how to get there from here.

Were can I get the information required to create/compile these help files?
Do I need a speacial editing tool or can I use any text editor such as Word?

Thanks in advance
