Displaying Custom Help

With Microsoft Excel, you can display Help to provide users with information about the following custom items:

Your Help can include powerful and visually interesting features, such as pop-up windows, graphics, the ability to jump from one topic to another, hypergraphics (graphics with one or more hot spots assigned to them), and much more.

To create and compile Help files, you will need the Microsoft Windows Help Workshop version 4.0 or greater.

The Microsoft Windows Help Compiler (HCW.EXE) creates Help files; it does not display them. To display Help files, you must use Microsoft Windows Help (WINHLP32.EXE).

Microsoft Windows Help is included with Microsoft Windows and is usually located in your Windows installation directory. You must purchase the Help compiler separately. For information about obtaining the Help compiler, see "Getting More Information About the Microsoft Windows Help Compiler" on page 566.
