F1 is actually my worse enemy, too close to F2 for my fat fingers.
The offline help is fine for Excel functions. But where I work, 90% of the functions used are coming from addins, and even though they also have a documentation somewhere, it can't be reached with F1.
Documentation is necessary but hints should be inline/contextual, like intellisense in visual studio. I don't want to have to leave what I am doing just to figure out which is the next argument in a function.
Excel could use a powerful autocomplete like intellisense that gives you basic documentation inside the auto-complete.
But Office is the "sleeping beauty" of Microsoft. A bit of an old and hairy beauty though.
