I have a series of projects to convert from the older .hlp style to .chm. The HTML Help workshop has a convert option, but it fails most of the time for graphics.
I use HTML Workshop to convert the .hpj file to corresponding .hhp relates files. All seems to go fine, but virtually all the graphics images in the original .rtf files are missing from the fiinal .chm result. In some cases, it works fine, but that's the minority of cases.
Any ideas

There also seems to be an issue with context sensitive help. it appears all this information is also lost when convertion is done.

Paul ORear's (MSFT) posted ".. there is not a convenient one-to-one conversion mechanism in the basic tools.. " - that's right.
But note - there is a tool created by Sid Penstone. For further information see following links (Tips & Tricks):

Hi Ed,
There is a bug with images in the HTML Help Workshop WinHelp to HTML Help conversion process. Please see this MSFT Knowledge Base article: Bug: HTML Help: Converting From Winhelp to HTML Help Leaves Bitmaps Behind. See the Resolution section for instructions on how to fix the problem:
Also, if you need more info on the WinHelp to HTML Help conversion process, check out this short tutorial:
Hope this helps,
