Spaces in path or file names used to cause errors.

Does the [Files] section on the Project tab look something like:

[FILES]
*.htm
myproject.hhp

Do entries in myproject.hhc look something like:

<ul>
<li> <object type="text/sitemap">
<param name="Name" value="Introduction">
<param name="Local" value="introduction.htm">
</object>
<ul>

I've always found using HTML Help Workshop directly frustratingly
buggy. You might want to download and install FAR HTML:
