Could
someone shed light on this please help.

Second I know that there is a way to hide a macro. I would like
"unhide"
item macro --ie drawing a line -- and examine it. Possibly copy it
modify it
for my purposes and resave as a user defined macro. Please Help

Hello Tony,

Not all menu items have an OnAction property. Built-in menu items
like
Copy, Paste, and Save have an ID property. Excel uses this to locate
the
routine to execute when the item is selected. You can use these ID
numbers with custom menu items to invoke them. You can access the
code
for the routines like a regular macro.

Hello Tony,

You can not access the *OnAction* property because they are builtin
menu items (system macros). Properties may be visible but not accessible
depending upon the object.
