<I have a client that seems to think that there is a software package out
there that creates help files like the one for Microsoft Word. Does anyone
know what it is? Or is it a custom thingy?>
Well, almost any help-authoring software can produce help files that look exactly like those in Word. So, it really doesn't matter much which package you choose as long as you select the right options. RoboHelp's HTML help has a CSS that uses the same styles and fonts that Microsoft uses.
Not sure if this answered your question.
