Whilst I might agree with you that there are a lot of odd (mistaken?) design
decisions and a ton of what I think are bugs in Excel 2007, this is no
different than Excel 2003. Not good, but not new.

Why can't Microsoft get their act together?

How many times have you tried to enter something into a Microsoft Office
program and a small window appears with a comment along the lines of "You
can't do that!" - you're puzzled, so you enter a 'key' word, that has
appeared in the small window, as a question in 'Help' and the supposed
help
that appears is hopeless !

Try this - (Excel2007 - I'm not a fan !) Enter "History" as a tab name. Up
comes the window 'History is a reserved name'. Ah, I wonder why !

OK try entering that sentence or words from that sentence into the 'Help'
search. Do you get a satisfactory result ? (This is just one of many
examples)

So why can't the code writers and the 'help' file authors get their heads
together and produce a help system for words presented by the code
writers?

I've had my moan - so can anybody please tell me in what context is
"History" a reserved name when it comes to labelling a tab?
