Just imagine:
You have bought a program ,lets say a word processor, and you want to make a help file for it to instruct people around the software and you want to make your own fonts, sounds professional and gives it a professinal touch?

I don't think that DB can call help files, but I might be wrong. VB can call them, and you use a special language to make them. There are free downloads on the net to make them. I haven't made one for about 8 years, so you will have to search for the program yourself. If you want one in DB you could just make your own text file, or even a bitmap.

why not make an HTML help system (like a mini local web site) and just have dbp program launch IE with file name as an argument?
Much easier than dealing with .chm files and editors methinks.

You can make your own fonts for Microsoft Word.... there's bundles of programs out there... i used one once, but then i got a new computer and it was lost in cyberspace forever...

In DB/DBPro, CHM files should be able to be run directly. It would probably minimise the running program, but would be the easiest way of doing it.

The other way would be to do it as HTML using Word (or an web editor).
