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



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. 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, follow these steps:


 * 1) Open the Visual Basic Editor (press ALT+F11).
 * 2) On the View menu, click Object Browser (or press F2).
 * 3) Right-click the Object Browser and click Show Hidden Members on the shortcut menu.

Anything that is hidden is displayed in a light gray font.

NOTE: When you are writing new macros, Microsoft recommends that you use the new functionality in Microsoft Excel 2000 instead of using earlier functionality provided by the hidden methods and properties.
