Hello Alexander,
I tried for a while to generate help files with Microsoft Word. It is not as easy as it should be.
I downloaded a program that you could find interesting. That program is HelpHikes Pro. It is shareware so you will be able to evaluate it before buying it.
With that program you will be able to generate help files fast.
The adress of the web site is
