2007 - worth the money?

[tbablue]

Not the usual question but I thought I'd put it to the forum regardless.

I've discovered that I dont have my VBA 'help' files installed by default - and the lack of this utility is making learning the language laborious and more difficult than it need be I'm sure. Unfortunately, I dont have the installation CD either. So - for the time being I am struggling on without my F1 button.

This state of affairs has prompted me to undertake to purchase another copy of Excel ( complete with help files). *Bill wringing his hands as we 'type' no doubt.

Two simple questions - is 2007 worth the money? Can I get the help files elsewhere without expense?

Any feedback welcomed.

though Office 2007 defaults to getting the online help files.

I did not pay for my copy of Office 2007, yet I rarely use it.
