It's pretty impressive.

How? First hit from Microsoft's online search is a video and I don't

Offline help is worse. First eight don't seem to be relevant at all.

I do remember enjoying context sensitive help in the 1990s. In IBM's
OS/2.

XL 5 had the *best* help ever IMO. Everything you needed, nothing you didn't and all fast and local.

Pity about the associated DLLL hell though. :)
