Problems with HTML Help

Well... I'm writing a help for my application in MS Help Workshop. I
add html files and try to compile it. And it's ok, it compiles and I
get the chm files. But...

(i) it losses the syles. I've got the html files with css styles and
the css styles don't work :(
(ii) When I move the chm file to the different folder - it losses the
html files and it doesn't show anything.

Please help,
Thanks very much!

I use Microsoft FrontPage to edit the .htm files and it works fine.

Have you used a text editor to look into all the attendant files?????

Microsoft help for HTML help is pretty trashy as is most Microsoft help.

I attach a sample help project. You can unzip it to any folder and the .hhp
file will generate a valid .chm file

I hope that this will assist you.
