Sounds like you need a Windows Help Compiler. I think it comes with most
Windows compilers. There are alot of utilities aound that eliminate the
need for the compiler/or make it easier to develop such help files. 

Most of them can read Words or WP documents. Some can do text too.
The compiled file then can be viewed by Windows help viewer (winhelp.exe)

Check out the ftp sites you are bound to find some.
