Here we will see the steps you must follow to make a .chm help file. 1-You must be able to make .html web pages as a prerequisite. I n fact chm files are compiled HTML files. Each chm file contains one or more html pages compiled in the form of a single compressed file. Chm files are Win98 and 2000 native help files. Therefore if you double-click on them in Windows explorer they will be automatically opened by windows. Chm files are very small in comparison with other technologies, is more suitable for long reading and are easier to search and navigate. For this purpose you must learn html web page design or simply use software like MS-FrontPage etc to make html files. There is a free "Html web design course" at LearningOnline homepage. To enroll in this course go to: http://op.htmsoft.com 2- After designing help files in html format you must install HTML Help Workshop software from Visual Studio 6.0 CD1. It is in "Htmlhelp" directory on your CD. You can also find it on Microsoft's website. 3- Install the software and run program. 4- Now you must make a new project (File -> New). Do not choose the box "convert winhelp project" and press next. Then choose a directory for your help project and enter a name for your help project and then press next again. If you have made html files before starting this; you can show it to program. In this way they will be included in your project. Otherwise an empty project will be made and you must add help pages after they are designed. 5-Now use the left toolbar buttons to add or remove topics (help page items organized in separate html pages) to project. 6- Now press compile from Up Toolbar. Your CHM help file will be ready in seconds. 7-If you need more help or you have any questions about this subject or any other programming subject you can ask your questions in our Support and Programming Forums at http://op.htmsoft.com/forums 8-You can also find Html Workshop on Microsoft website.
