Microsoft documentation for a typical Excel 365 object refers to "an object in the Applies To list", but where is the "Applies to list"?

I think my Question's title clearly expresses the essence of the information I need. I Googled where is the "applies to list" in vba excel and a few variations of that, all with quotes as shown, which should make Google look for that exact phrase. I also used Google Advanced Search, specifying "this exact word or phrase" to be "applies to list" (with and without quotes). No hits.

For example, here is the last documentation that I viewed yesterday:

<<

MakeCompiledFile method ...

Causes the current project to be written as a DLL. The DLL name is specified by the BuildFileName property.

Syntax object.MakeCompiledFile

The object placeholder represents an object expression that evaluates to an object in the Applies To list... >>

... which is never shown. I've lived without seeing such a list for many years, but who knows what a person might learn from viewing one.

This doesn't help with the web-based docs, but if you locate the corresponding CHM file in your Office install you can see there's an "Applies To" link at the top - that will give you a list of object types or link you directly to the related object.

So I'd guess the web version was converted from the CHM (but with missing functionality).
