Help with... Help
 

Dear all,

I suppose I am missing something as I find the Help on Excel (2003)
particularlry unhelpful!
I usually program in TSQL or C# and am used with these kind of help. In
particular, I like the references where I can just click on "See Also" and
find suggestions about similar functions, etc...
When I clicked "See Also" on my Excel 2003 help about the Range.Clear()
function, I got some marketing blurb about upgrading to 2007! No, thank
you!!! :-(

Ami I missing fundamental with the Office 2003 help?
Is there a simple "Reference" Help to help me write macros?


Many Thanks


Eric

Eric,

It must be something to do with the setup as I don't get it in my 2003
version (I do with 2007, I know take-up of 2007 is below MS needs but
suggesting 2007 all of the time no matter what I ask about is ridiculous).
With the Clear method, Show Also gives me a link to the ClearContents and
ClearFormats methods.

Sorry, but I don't know what that setup difference might be (perhaps because
I have 2007 installed as well, or I might not be linked to online help in
2003 - actually just checked and I have the option to search online checked)
