I guess you could use Microsoft's own HTML Help Workshop. You can find it here:

Donald,
We're relatively happy with Help and Manual
It has a lot of nice features and optional builds. For instance, you can easily compile your documentation into HLP, CHM, PDF, RTF, HTML or ebook formats.
hth,
Joseph

Hi,
We use a product called doc-to-help, this uses MSWord as the editor and creates widows help files. I believe it you have the option to compile Help files into one of several formats including HTML Help, Cross-Platform HTML-based Help, JavaHelp, WinHelp, Visual Studio .NET-style Help, and printed documentation.
Do a search for windows help authoring tools and you will see that there are several different programs available.
regards

Thanks Tony
That'll help me narrow down the search a bit.
