# $ + K Key Features of WinHelp 2000
WinHelp 2000 uses the same display engine as Microsoft’s Internet Explorer and HTML Help, so all of the rich content of the World Wide Web can be displayed and integrated into any standard Windows Help system. Your Help users can access the most current information by visiting Web sites right within their Help windows! With WinHelp 2000, you can:
n	Integrate a Web site into your Help system. Your Help users can browse a Web site right from within your Windows Help system. They can look up the latest answers to common questions, browse information on your recently released products, access your company’s intranet site, and more! Your users are viewing information on the Web right from within the WinHelp interface they are accustomed to—there is no launching or switching to a Web browser interface. 
n	Display HTML in WinHelp without launching a separate browser. WinHelp 2000 lets you completely integrate HTML into WinHelp. You can display HTML topics right in the WinHelp interface. There is no need to launch a Web browser to view any HTML topic. The HTML topics can be included in the browse sequence, and you can jump to them from the Help system’s index. 
n	Cut your technical support costs. With WinHelp 2000, you can integrate a live technical support Web page directly into your Help system, giving your users direct access to the latest technical support information at the time they most need it—immediately—and without a phone call to your technical support staff. 
n	Take advantage of HTML today, without switching to an upcoming HTML-based Help format. WinHelp 2000 lets you take advantage of the power of HTML, without adding a learning curve and changing the way you author or deploy your Help systems. There is no need for Help authors or Help users to learn a new interface for online Help. Since there is no need to upgrade hardware or software, there are no additional costs involved in providing HTML with your WinHelp systems.
n	Continue to deploy WinHelp into the next century. With WinHelp 2000, you can mix and match regular RTF-based Help topics with HTML pages.  HTML files can be displayed in a Windows Help system, complete with WinHelp standards like browse buttons and non-scrolling regions.
