I wouldn't exactly call it the "best" way, but HTML Help Workshop can do this for you: http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyID=00535334-c8a6-452f-9aa0-d597d16580cc&displaylang=en[^] Adobe also do a product called Robohelp, which is very expensive, however you can trial it for a limited period.

Word does not produce very efficient HTML code, but you may store a word document as HTML. Best way is to use an html editor th create all pages and import the in HTML Workshop to create the .chm file. It is abit more work, bur much more flexible. You can use full html, including style sheets (which I recommend to do). Do not forget to test the resulting chm file thoroughly, to make sure all your help texts just do what you want them to do.
