Excel - Improved Excel Help: Episode 1499

Microsoft Excel Tutorial: Discover the New and Improved Excel Help: Community Content Included!

Welcome to the MrExcel podcast. In this episode, we will be discussing the new and improved Excel Help. As many of you know, I have spent a lot of time poking fun at Excel Help in the past. But I am happy to say that it has come a long way and is now a valuable resource for Excel users.

To access Excel Help, simply press the question mark or F1 key. From there, you can search for any topic you need assistance with. What's great about the new Excel Help is that it not only provides the official Microsoft articles, but also includes articles from other sources. This feature was introduced in 2011 and has been a game changer for Excel users.

For example, if you search for "HYPERLINKS NOT HOT", you will not only get the official Microsoft article, but also articles from other Excel gurus. This means you have access to a wealth of knowledge and tips from various experts in the Excel community. This is a great way to expand your Excel skills and learn new techniques.

I personally love this new feature as it reminds me of Adobe Help, which has been offering community help for a while now. In most cases, I have found the community help to be more useful than the official Adobe Help. And now, Excel Help offers the same benefit. So next time you are stuck on an Excel problem, don't hesitate to press F1 and see what the community help has to offer.

This improved Excel Help is available in both Excel 2007 and 2010, as long as you are using the online version. So give it a try and see how it can enhance your Excel experience. Thank you for tuning in to this episode of the MrExcel podcast. Don't forget to check back for more helpful tips and tricks from the world of Excel. See you next time!
