I am at the beginning of a new project, and want to have my developers work
on the Help files as we are developing the new application forms. Since
most of my previous work has been in the ASP arena, I am not familiar with
Help file authoring tools and process. Can anyone point me to a good
description of the process of help file development and any good (and cheap)
tools?
TIA

HTML Help Workshop has been available from MS for years, it's OK. http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/de...pDownloads.asp
I use Help & Manual - it is a few hundred dollars but *really* nice.
Best bang for the buck IMHO! http://www.helpandmanual.com/

If you want to use MS Help 2 (VS.NET integrated help) you have to use
Microsoft VSHIP SDK: http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/de...ingNETHelp.asp
If you want to use HTML Help (chm files), you can use Microsoft HTML Help
Workshop: http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/de...onHH1Start.asp
Since none of them is the easiest and friendliest tool of the world, you may
want to use 3rd party tools: http://www.helpware.net/
