The following are examples of both types of macros.

   Visual Basic code:

      Application.Help "MAINXL.HLP", 3

   Microsoft Excel 4.0 macro:

      =HELP("MAINXL.HLP!3")

Finding a Help Topic ID

To find the help topic ID numbers for a help file in Microsoft Excel, use the following macro:

HELP_TOPICS =FOR("Message",1,395) =HELP("Mainxl.hlp!"&Message) =SEND.KEYS("%EC+{END}+{DOWN}%C") =FORMULA(Message,OFFSET(!A1,Message,0)) =PASTE(OFFSET(B1,Message,0)) =NEXT() =RETURN()
