I have downloaded and installed the application and I compiled a CHM file. In fact, the table of contents is the menu on the left. After you compile a HELP file, you will see the ToC on the left side. Add your items and topics as shown and then compile the file.
I am using HelpMaker 7.4 and I am getting an issue when attempting to open the software "An unhandled win32 exception occurred in vahelp74.exe [6816]". The software was working fine before and now it will not work. I have tried uninstalling and re-installing, but that did not correct the issue. Is there a way to correct this issue?

I have encountered the same problem as well. The software's installation went fine, and it started normally after install finished, but then when I tried to launch it, I have received the same error. It's possible that the compatibility with modern operating systems doesn't exist and we've probably attempted to run and install the software in an unsupported OS.
I have used Helpmaker to build a help file, but I don't know how to set the home page. When I click on the 'TestHelp' --> 'Run current help file', and I click on 'Home page' (the house icon) it appears a web page that tell me: "Can't display the page." How can I do it?

The homepage should lead you straight to the beginning of the document, not some web site. However, in order to configure that, you will have to use vahelp74.chm file that's available in the installation directory. The file provides all the necessary help for the application. Access it and use the Search to learn how to configure the homepage. I have tried to install it, but it's not compatible with 64bit versions of Windows.
How can I convert a help file into another file format?

This application has the ability to export the help files that you created to another format like PDF, RTF, DOC or Web page. This can be done by going to File > Export while you have your help file open. From there, choose the format in which you want to convert files and press Save. For more information, check the Help menu inside the application.
