Description
A native Windows COM add-in designed for technical teams, systems analysts, and enterprise IT environments requiring automated process mapping inside desktop Excel without third-party SaaS cloud dependencies.
Local Graph Engine: Implements Sugiyama layered graph drawing and Multidimensional Scaling (MDS) layout algorithms on a native .NET stack (C#, VB.NET, WPF) to calculate node coordinates and route connector paths without shape overlap.
Zero External Cloud Dependencies: All processing and rendering execute 100% locally within the desktop Excel process space. Sensitive operational workflows, process steps, and business logic remain strictly on the local endpoint.
Native Office Object Model: Renders output using standard Microsoft Office shape objects. Generated .xlsx workbooks remain fully editable, shareable, and viewable across Word, PowerPoint, and Excel without requiring recipients to install the add-in.
Dynamic Table Synchronization: Modifying step text, step IDs, or conditional routing in the source table instantly recalculates the visual layout across four cardinal directions (Top-to-Bottom, Bottom-to-Top, Left-to-Right, Right-to-Left).
Enterprise IT Governance: Distributed via the Microsoft Store and Microsoft Commercial Marketplace, supporting tenant-wide deployment, license management, and policy compliance through the Microsoft 365 Admin Center.
Description
The Help Generator offers a comprehensive suite of tools designed for creating CHM help files, web-based assistance, and printed user manuals.

With the Help Generator, you can create standard Windows help files, often referred to as CHM files or compiled HTML help, as well as online help for any Windows application. The accompanying add-in generates a detailed topic page for each form within your application, complete with a title, a screenshot featuring an image map, and sections dedicated to all controls. Notably, the pages produced by this add-in are automatically integrated with your application, providing immediate F1 support for context-sensitive help.
