Need to create a help file from a manual that is in Word format. This same word document is the source for the pdf version of the manual. Is there any free/cheap way of doing this? I need to have a centralised source so that changes to it are proliferated through to the pdf and the chm file, and I think word would be the best format for storing this in. Keeping as html isnt really an option as non technical people will be editing this. There is a copy of Frontpage here if that would make a difference.

It is a 100 page manual, so the sections need to be automatically split into different htm files for the chm, which is the real problem, otherwise they show up as one huge page in the chm if just using one htm as the source.

Any help would ne appreciated. Thanks.
