I'm interested in converting some .htm files to .chm files so I can add them to my Gmax help file structure.
Is there a free tool out there that will do this for me?
 
Microsoft provides the tool to create .chm files - HTML Help Workshop and documentation.
- source files must be .htm/.html - Word files can be used after conversion to .htm

"The CHM (Compiled Help Modules) format is used in Microsoft HTML Help, the standard help system for the Windows platform. A CHM file is a collection of HTML documents and other data such as images and JavaScript compressed into a single file. CHM files contain a number of powerful features present in the specifications available here including: Table of Contents, Index of keywords and Full-text search functionality."

You might find this comment from another source interesting:
".chm are compiled Microsoft html help files, and they don't work on anything above XP, and are a security threat because they're easily exploited.

It's an old format initially released in 1997 and no longer under construction, there's no point in making a software help file in this format."
