Hello Dave,
1) Document.Variables - we use this to store our data
with each Word document.
As far as I know, the Variables interface in Word system is mainly designed
to be used to preserve macro settings in between macro sessions.
(

ables(VS.80).aspx)
It is introduced into Word because the ordinary variables (Dim x As
Integer) in Word cannot stay in public module-level scope. The variable may
differ in different sessions of Word. Do you still remember your post
"Losing Menu Events"? It is the same issue that Word loses its reference to
CommandBarButton objects in different sessions, so we need to find the
button object each time we need to reference it.
In Excel, we do not have the similar session issue. We can declare the
variable as public module-level scope so that it can be available in
different macros. (For more information about variables in Excel, see the
KB article
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/843144). I do not find a
equivalent of Document.Variables in Excel, partially because Excel does not
need such a property for its variables. I have sent an email to product
team, to confirm my conclusion and I will get back to you as soon as
possible.
2) Document.Content & Range.get_XML() - we use these to read in
the spreadsheet in XML form. And in this case what is the XML form
- is it the Excel 2003 SpreadsheetML or the new XLSX?
If I do not mistake, the equivalent should be
range.Value(xlRangeValueMSPersistXML)
It is the Excel 2003 SpreadsheetML.
