A co-worker of mine is doing this to get API-level info out of a CHM built by development from the source code into FM. What he's doing is decompiling the CHM, and then using Word, is opening multiple HTML files into one file, tagging content with identical stylenames as used in our FM templates, and then importing the Word files into FM, then reapplying the FM template for good measure. It's a slow process, but not as slow as other methods. And, it's working. :-) Do look into nightly backups of your working folders/directory though. The cost and time it takes to set up and use a backup system doesn't compare to the cost, time, and frustration associated with rebuilding a book from scratch. :-)
