Solution

  • Converting a Word document to CHM format is difficult without special (often expensive) tools and has a learning curve.

    You should think about whether the PDF format is not sufficient. But the CHM format - integrated in the Windows operating system - has of course some popular functions.

    I recommend to read through Search and Index not working after converting from Word 2016 to CHM.

    As I mentioned in my answer I never used chmProcessor before (because using other tools) but surprisingly seems to be a good one for converting Word documents in a simple way.

    Please try chmProcessor for your needs. You may want to ask a new question here on SO later.
