You could include the file as a resource (bundle it into the executable), or set it to be output as content, then Process.Start it from your help menu.

To use your chm from code have a look to the Help namespace, and especially Help.ShowHelp.
For example:

C#

//this will open the chm file
System.Windows.Forms.Help.ShowHelp(this, "yourFile.chm");
//this will open the chm file and display a topic using its id
int id = 150;
System.Windows.Forms.Help.ShowHelp(this,"yourFile.chm",
    HelpNavigator.TopicId, id.ToString());
//this will open the chm file and display a html page
System.Windows.Forms.Help.ShowHelp(this, "yourFile.chm",
    HelpNavigator.Topic, "page.htm");

To use topic Ids, you must map the ids to the html pages. If you don't know how to do this, search in Word2Doc documentation. I don't know this software so I can't help further.
