Help Menu Commands in Excel 2007

In this post we look at the Help menu commands in Excel 2007. This also concludes our menu series. We have barely scratched the surface on commands in Excel 2007. Not convinced. Open up the Excel Options and under Customize you will see literally tens if not hundreds of commands that can be added to the Quick Access Toolbar. Thankfully, the average user only ever needs a fraction of these commands.

I’ve also included additional resources below if you want to follow up on these series.

1. A downloadable list of Excel 2007 commands covered in this series in pdf format. You can search for the commands locally.
2. Download an interactive flash command reference guide. This is a self-extracting executable. It is ideal for those who prefer a visual approach to learning.
3. Download a spreadsheet from Microsoft. The spreadsheet has both the toolbar and menu commands. Also check out this page which is an easy to follow primer on the Excel 2007 interface.
4. A search commands add-in from Microsoft Office Labs. After installing the add-in, you can type commands to search for. I’ve had limited success with this add-in. For one, it sometimes returns to many results and for another, I wasn’t able to search for commands that start with a number eg. 3-D.
