David, you don't mention what tools or process you use to create the CHMs, but I'll try to answer your questions:
1. As Roger mentioned, you cannot open a CHM over the web or on network drives. It's a format for local deployment only. 2. You can probably just use the uncompiled HTML. 3. If you use the uncompiled HTML, you shouldn't need to change any formatting.
