Should developers know how to use office suites?

How deep is your knowledge on Office suites?
Personally i don't like them, i hate create and manage word documents, excel datasheets etc. etc.
I'm not talking about opening a word document and write some text or calculate sum and division on excel; i'm talking about advanced features like revisions, vba macros and so on.
I have a co-worker, actually he's a talented functional analyst, that don't know anything about programming but he's kind a monster guru on Microsoft Office suite.
When he sits on my desk and asks me to open and modify some of his hardly complicated Microsoft Excel multicolor multipivotal recursive datasheet, ehm, i feel like a baby in front of a nuclear plant console.It' not a great feeling if you know what i mean.
As programmer, do you feel guilty about not knowing office suites enough?
