Hi Paul,

A friend of mine told me a couple of months ago about a product called HDK (Help Developer Kit). It compiles W4W6 documents into Help format docs, if the doc is in Outline format, then the outline levels ar taken as the headings.

One of the features of this product is that it condenses all Windows Help format files into a sort of bookshelf. That may be a way to incorporate the files. I have not seen the product, I believe it's published by an Australian company.

If you like, I can enquire about address, price, compatibility etc.

Cheers,
Alex Long
