make it possible to get to the function reference for excel when

[Guest]

Your help for excel is now impossible to use. it always wants to connect to
the internet and use AI to figure out what you want. But I often want to
just look at the function referecne and check which lookup function or
whatever i want to use. In old versions of Excel this was easy to do. Now I
can't figure out how to do it. I want to do it offline, because I am not
always connected and, anyway, it's faster.

I'm spending more time looking up a function than actually using your
product, ant that makes we want to switch products

Apparently, you can turn off the internet search by going to Tools

Options>General Tab>Service Options and untick the 'Search online when

connected' box
