How to create a chm help file is probably beyond the scope of this ng. There
are various chm compilers, including MS's free HTML Help Workshop available
here
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms669985.aspx

To create a chm and how deploy it in VBA with the HTML API is all quite a
learning curve, and perhaps explains why not many go to the effort of
including a chm with an xla/s. However plenty of on-line resources and
tutorials can be found with a quick search.

Hi all,

In his great comment, Peter mentioned but shortly the method of chm help.
As
I take it, this had been intended as a Help standard, by Microsoft. I
wonder
then, why users avoid using this way, for at least no discussion in this
direction appeared on NGs for a long time. All people use to return to the
genial, but strained methods of LL, JKP, and KIC (restricted number of
serviced functions in an open file!).
I mean, we could surely do without the arguments description to a UDF,
provided there would be a simple accessible, detailed help for the
function
as a whole. The thought is of a simple document without excessive
hyperlinks
and other programmers' finesses, so that the cooperation with professional
Help creators would be not necessary.

I myself have tried sometimes to find out helps to Help on web, including
official Microsoft pages, but so far fallen behind, because of not
imminent
necessity and of some beginner failures when following scanty
instructions.
So far I have failed also to get an older book of Jeannine Klein on HTML
building, where one can hope to be tutored in a more instructive way. It
is
my problem.

But generally taken: can anybody give here a learned opinion to the
question, which is, as we see, returning frequently? Does it pay to tackle
the problem, for not too engrossed a man, from this side?

Thanks
