Post: Need to convert a Word doc u-guide into help using HTML Help Workshop

[Jennifer Savage <jsavage97 -at- yahoo -dot- com>]

I'm somewhat new to the tech writing world.  I have several Word user 
guides for our apps that I need to get converted into 
online/context-sensitive help. I need to do this using HTML Help 
Workshop. (Currently we are sending these docs as PDFs to users, so we 
need something MUCH smaller and more user friendly than these PDFs). 
   
  Where would you suggest I start? What is the best way to convert these 
word docs into HTML pages? I know from past experiance that Word throws 
in a lot of extraneous tagging, so what would you suggest? I know I 
will have to break these docs down into small pieces for the online 
help.  Also, is it possible to have screenshots of any kind in the 
online help using this help program from MS? Once I convert these docs 
into HTML pages, how are they uploaded into HTML Workshop and 
eventually converted into CHM files? (The directories are currently set 
up in VS.NET solutions). 
  
Thanks!
