WikkiExcel!!

Perhaps there should be an Excel help wikki where all the Excel experts can put together the help system that Microsoft should have designed!

It often frustrates me that I have to search around to find what should be a simple question, I have several books on Excel and have what I would refer to as an advanced knowledge of excel, but everytime I refer to the help system the answer seems to be missing!

The obvious thing would be for microsoft to open up its online help as a wikki, but I am sure that the microsoft haters out there would be quick to vandalism!

What are your thoughts!

Hey squiggler47,
I take it 2010xl help files haven't been expanded?

No, but it has always been a frustration that the help system in all versions of Excel was lacking! Especially in the VBA area!

While I could understand this in the past where help files are provided, now the majority of help is online there should be less excuse? this seems to happen with a lot of applications, I am having the same issues with VB.NET it seems anytime I press F1 there is no information about my question!

Dont get me wrong, I know quite a lot about excel and indeed many applications and books are of course a great reference!
