Hardly hiding at all!
Look in Section 1.5.10, "Power Series", of the Mathematica Book --
either the printed version or the on-line version you can access in the
Help Browser. The 6th example there shows how evaluating Normal at the
value that Series returns does exactly what you want.
"Normal" is also mentioned in the page you see if you simply look up
Series in the HelpBrowser's Built-in Functions.
