I am giving my students an exam using Excel 2007, but the help ? function
allows them to cheat. Does anyone know how I can disable it? Especially,
the type that pops up when a mistake gets made in a formula. Thanks

I taught computer science classes for 20 years and never disabled the
help function in any of my lab exams. The help system is part of the
program and students should learn how to use it. And my lab exams were
"open book" too. The cheating that I worried about and monitored closely
was student-to-student help.

Once I caught a student using a hand calculator during an Excel exam and
writing down the numerical results on his spreadsheet. Of course that's
easy to check -- just display the formulas only on his Excel worksheet
and see that there aren't any!
