Creating an Answer Wizard Index to Display Custom Help Topics from the Office Assistant

If you purchased Office 2000 Developer or the Microsoft Office 2000 Resource Kit (Microsoft Press, 1999), you can use the Microsoft Answer Wizard Builder available with the Answer Wizard SDK to create a custom Answer Wizard index with references to your custom Help topics. When this custom Answer Wizard index is installed with your solution, if a user asks a question that applies to your solution, your custom Help topics will be displayed along with those built-in Help topics returned by the Office Assistant. This way of integrating Help topics is most appropriate for Office solutions that are deployed as add-ins. For information about the Answer Wizard SDK, see the Microsoft Office 2000 Resource Kit (Microsoft Press, 1999) or Office 2000 Developer.

The Microsoft Office 9.0 object library provides methods for the AnswerWizard and AnswerWizardFiles objects that allow developers to control when a custom Answer Wizard index is used by the Office Assistant to return custom Help topics. For information about these objects and methods, search the Microsoft Office Visual Basic Reference Help index for "AnswerWizard object" and "AnswerWizardFiles object."
