Remarks

Use this method to enable your application objects to obtain a service of the Workbook in order to employ methods of the service. The Workbook implements IServiceProvider interface, so you can tell it what type of service you wish to retrieve with the GetService method; and if a service is available, it is offered to the caller object.
