It's very common in Excel that you go to hit F2 to edit a formula, and

help
window?

try: Alt + F4

That closes Excel. I only want to close the child window that the Help
facility lives in.

When someone offers you a solution, you might at least try it before
dismissing it out of hand. In this case, the solution you dismissed
out of hand was the correct one.
