Re: HTML Help
Thanks. I suspected I'd be getting replies suggesting to use other tools.
I'm trying to learn as much as I can about the Microsoft tools for this
right now, but will probably try one of these tools after that.
Anyway, helpware.net had a few good resources (although the first help file
I downloaded had all broken links). Time to do some more reading.
Thanks.

I'm trying to get up to speed with HTML Help.
I noticed that the HTML Help Workshop I downloaded is copyright 1999.
Nearly ten years ago! Is that the newest?
Also, does anyone know any good links the provide a good overview of
using HTML Help?
I find the HTML help workshop rather frustrating to use.
Various products have been built around the HTML help workshop to manage
HTML help projects. The best combination of ease-of-use and price which
I have found is one called "FAR". IIRC you can download the trial from
www.helpware.net.
You also need, of course, to edit the HTML topics. Again, you can do
this for free with Notepad but again there are easier options at assorted
prices. I use FrontPage 2003 as I was already using it to maintain my web
pages and I'm used to it.
