Using Online Help
Microsoft Excel provides an extensive Help system for the Visual Basic language, the objects that Microsoft Excel supports, and the properties and methods of those objects.
If you clicked Typical when you installed Microsoft Excel, you'll need to run Setup again to install Help forVisual Basic for Microsoft Excel.
You can access Visual Basic Help in any of the following four ways:
- In a Visual Basic module, place the insertion point anywhere in an object, property, method, function, or other keyword, and then press F1 to get context-sensitive Help.
- On the Help menu, click Microsoft Excel Help Topics. You can then either click "Getting Started with Visual Basic" on the Contents tab, look up a specific topic or Visual Basic term on the Index tab, or perform a full-text search from the Find tab.
- On the Help menu, click Microsoft Excel Help Topics. You can then ask a question on the Answer Wizard tab and read the topics displayed in the Programming and Language Reference section of the dialog box.
- With a Visual Basic module active, click Object Browser on the View menu, and then click the Element Help button (appears as a question mark below the Objects/Modules box) for information about an object, method, property, or function.
