Doc-to-Help looks like it would work but costs $1000<br />
DrExplain &nbsp;doesn't work -- as it won't convert a standard doc file to an html (not included in the acceptable solutions)<br />

I am doing C++ / MFC development and have a document that I'd like to use for help. Ideally, I'd eventually like to have the ability for the program to do searches for a given page so that I can add a context sensitive F1 key.

Word/Doc to CHM

Microsoft Word is a commercial document editing program that is part of the Microsoft Office suite. It features numerous text-editing tools for creating richly formatted documents, along with tools for the use of macros in Word documents. Word's native file formats are denoted either by a .doc or .docx file extension. Plugins permitting the Windows versions of Word to read and write formats it does not natively support, such as the OpenDocument format (ODF) are available. Word can import and display images in common bitmap formats such as JPG and GIF. It can also be used to create and display simple line-art.

Microsoft Word

Most development for the Microsoft platform is done utilizing the technologies supported by the.NET framework. Other development is done using Visual Basic for Applications (VBA) for programs like Access, Excel, Word and Outlook, with PowerShell for scripting, or with SQL for large databases.
