Hi Stuart My thought was to avoid building a help file. I did that a couple of times with the good old Help Magician Pro but don't recall it as an entertaining experience. But it sounds like the tool you mention makes it easy. I better give it a try. Thanks. /gustav >>> stuart at lexacorp.com.pg 15-10-2008 04:52 >>> I usually build WinHelp files fro this sort of thing. I can embed screen shots, drawings in etc them easily and users get the whole Help experiece. It's very easy to build professional looking WinHelp files with the freeware Shalom Help Maker. http://www.danish-shareware.dk/soft/shelpm/index.html -- Stuart On 14 Oct 2008 at 23:55, Gustav Brock wrote: > Hi all > > I have designed some drawings in PowerPoint as a kind of high level > "help pages" for a WinApp. The idea is that the user by pressing help > or a button can call up these slides.
