In the Windows version of Excel when writing a procedure helpful
syntax/object tags appear when a line or object or function is started. I
find it really helpful since I don't memorize the syntax of properties, e.g.
Find. I don't get the same tags in the Mac version, is it different, or do
I have a setting in my VB editor set incorrectly?

Sorry, but you are witnessing the difference between VB 5 vs. VB 6. Windows
uses the latter, Macintosh the former. These tags are just not available in
the Macintosh environment.
