SUMMARY
Some methods and properties do not appear in the Object Browser in Microsoft Excel 98 Macintosh Edition.



MORE INFORMATION
These methods and properties are not missing; they are hidden. They are hidden because new methods and properties replace them in Microsoft Excel 98. The hidden methods and properties remain in the Object Browser for backward compatibility only.

To view hidden methods and properties in the Object Browser in Microsoft Excel 98, follow these steps:
 * 1) Open the Visual Basic Editor (Press OPTION+F11).
 * 2) On the View menu, click Object Browser.
 * 3) Hold down the CONTROL key and click the Object Browser, and then click Show Hidden Members on the shortcut menu.

Hidden methods and properties that were hidden are displayed in a light gray font style.

NOTE: When you create new macros, Microsoft recommends that you use the new functionality in Microsoft Excel 98 instead of using the earlier functionality that is provided by the hidden methods and properties.
