Using double click on active cell to open a custom help window
 
I guess the first question would be can you create custom help windows
to aid the user in navigating the worksheet, secondly can the custom
help window be opened by simply double clicking the active cell. The
active cell would obvoiusly have some title to it,
ex: cell a10 = quantity. I'm thinking that the active cell address may
be a better way of determining what help window to open.

Using double click on active cell to open a custom help window
 
Paste this code directly in the sheet (Right click the sheet tab and select
view code)

Private Sub Worksheet_BeforeDoubleClick(ByVal Target As Range, Cancel As
Boolean)
Cancel = True
Select Case Target.Address
Case "$A$1"
MsgBox "Do something with " & Target.Address
Case "$A$2"
MsgBox "Do something other than " & Target.Address
Case "$A$3"
MsgBox "Do something besides " & Target.Address
Case "$A$10"
MsgBox "Whatever with " & Target.Address
Case Else
Cancel = False
End Select

End Sub
