Microsoft's own support is surprisingly helpful, both on msdn and within office itself. Although if you're searching msdn, I'd recommend using "site:msdn.microsoft.com" on Google, rather than trying to use the ghastly search engine on the website.

If it's excel automation you're wanting to find out about, one good starting point is to record a macro doing something similar to what you want to do. You can then see in the modules for that spreadsheet what the commands/objects/methods used are. Look those up in your microsoft excel help to find out the syntax etc and if it's not quite what you want, you'll probably find what you're looking for in the 'See Also' section. Simplistic and obvious, perhaps, but it seems to work.
