[mso] Re: Inquiry: Microsoft Help Authoring Kit

Hi Robert,
take a look at VB Helpwriter, from Teletech Applications ( 
http://www.helpwriter.com/ ). The Lite version is free. I have used VB 
Helpwriter to create Help files for many of my Excel applications. Works on 
all versions of Windows, all versions of Excel at least up to Excel 2000 
which is the one I currently use.
