Re: Add/insert a word doc as html doc to app (help file with no .chm)

I have been creating help files as richtext docs and adding them to a
richtextbox. I can use hyperlinks and so one, and I then have a simple

help

file. But since a word doc can be save as an html doc, I thought why

not

just make the help file an html help file (without the .chm - no

compilation

required). Is there a way to add an html word doc to the app?

One other thought I had was to use a webbrowser control in the app and

write

out html in the webbrowser web1.DocumentText = <p>Help file for...</p>

The only thing with the web browser is that I would have to write out

all

the html tags - could be labor intensive. The word doc would be

easier. But

how to add the word doc to the app as an html page?

Thanks,
Rich

Rich,
Without being sure completely, if you want to use HTML as help
techique, design your HTML file on a editor like Frontpage then save
it. After that, place a webbrowser control to your form, then set
webbrowser's URL property to your local file's location (eg: c:
\myapplication\help.html).

Also you called a term "html word doc" which cannot be understood. As
i pointed out, i'd suggest you to design a simple HTML help file then
embed it into webbrowser by setting URL property to what you desire.

Hope this helps.

I wonder why you copied-pasted 1:1 exact copy of one of my post after
1,5 months has passed on the issue. It's weird of you.
