updated by simply updating the Word source files and recompiling. Not
sure that's possible, but here's hoping! Advice from techwr-l welcomed,

This is exactly what we do here with Quadralay's Webworks for Word (no affiliation with them). If your documents are well-structured, all you need to do is develop a template which converts your Word styles into Help styles and from there on, any time you need a new Help file, just press a button and your Word files convert in no time. Tweaking forbidden!
