I have figured out how to convert my Notes.chm HTML Help file into the new Help 2.0 format and how to add it to the The Visual Studio .NET Combined Help Collection. First you need to download the Visual Studio .NET Help Integration Kit 2003 at: http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyID=ce1b26dc-d6af-42a1-a9a4-88c4eb456d87&DisplayLang=enYou will also need far42_inst660.exe from http://helpware.net/The process is actually quite long and rather involved but the FAR Collection Wizard found in Far-V4.2.0 is the key to doing this. The Visual Studio .NET Help Integration Kit 2003 allows you to maintain your help project in Visual Studio 2003 rather than use the old HTML Help Workshop which always crashed on me.
I am really thrilled about this because I have spent years building my help file to maintain my programming notes. Now I have access to all that information within Visual Studio! I can even view it in the Microsoft Document Explorer that Visual Studio 2005 uses. I am also pleased that I can ditch the old HTML Help Workshop.
