Hi Tom,

Use Help Scribble, Help & Manual or EzHelp.

Thanks.

We've been pretty happy with Help Magician,
It is a wysiwyg help creator, supporting .HLPs and .HTML based help

Tom,

James Fortune and I would agree that it is ForeHelp, but there are
actually quite a few recommendations from this newsgroup. ForeHelp is
certainly not among the least expensive, but is certainly one of the
more well featured choices.

ForeHelp

The visual Help authoring leader for WinHelp development features a
standalone WYSIWYG authoring system, a unique Instant Test mode, and
extensive project management and shortcut features. You'll be creating
Help files in no time in ForeHelp's intuitive editing environment!

Here's another link that is invaluable for creating help.

"Here you will find the world's largest selection of WinHelp, HTMLHelp
and HTML related files and hints."

Hi Tom,

I'd swear by ForeHelp;)  James Fortune has talked about ForeHelp for
ages and when I was faced with the task of writing help files for our
Wizards, I realised we had an old version of ForeHelp (2.97 or
something like that)  I installed it around noon Friday and Sunday
night I was done with the help, which includes about 80 screenshots
and prints out to somewhere around 60 pages.  It was easy to learn and
figure out and it was just about as smooth as it gets.  

Best regards,

Tom,
try this link: http://www.comformark.com.au/
This template by Geoff Bomford is free.  Basically, you fill in the details
on your procedures from within the app, and the templates create a help file
for you, plus a word or HTML document.  You can include images.  It's very
easy.
