there no longer comparable in excel.

the alternative use selection pane can displayed clicking button in arrange group of contextual [object type] format tab appears when object selected. selection pane command can added qat.

when displayed selection pane can used to:

  • give meaningful name each object
  • determine objects show/hide @ given time
  • select multiple consecutive objects using shift-click
  • select nonconsecutive objects using command+click
  • rearrange order in objects listed

the pane lists object types including charts & smartart diagrams, not pictures & drawn shapes. selection pane available in word & powerpoint.
