Default A Challenge! Can you handle it???



This one really has me stumped. I have a spreadsheet (see below) which
contains (at random times) a group with members in it. The beginning of
the group, and all mailing address/contact info., is identified with a
leading row which has "Group" in column B. All subsequent members of
that particular group will have "Group Member" in the B column and will
not have an address or any contact info. I need to get one macro which
will take the contact info. (column c,d,e,f) and copy it to all group
members. I then need another to delete all rows with "group" in the B
column and finally the B colum in its entirety. Any ideas??? I also need
to know how to change the column designations in case the layout
changes. Remember, there are multiple groups in a spreadsheet but each
member of a group immediately follows the group heading! In the scenario
below the address, city, state (and colum g&h) would be copied from row
2 to rows 3,4,5,6. Rows 1 and 7 never get touched. Another macro then
deletes all rows like Row 2 and then deletes the B column.

Anyone who figures this out will definitely be my hero!

Thanks in advance!!!

ORIGINAL:
A B C D E F
1)[Name1] [data1][Address1][City1] [State1]
2)[Name2] "Group" [Address2][City2] [State2]
3)[Name3] "Group member" [data2]
4)[Name4] "Group member" [data3]
5)[Name5] "Group member" [data4]
6)[Name6] "Group member" [data5]
7)[Name7] [data6][Address3][City3] [State3]

Needed (after macro):
A B C D E F
1)[Name1] [data1][Address1][City1] [State1]
2)[Name2] "Group" [Address2][City2] [State2]
3)[Name3] "Group member" [data2][Address2][City2] [State2]
4)[Name4] "Group member" [data3][Address2][City2] [State2]
5)[Name5] "Group member" [data4][Address2][City2] [State2]
6)[Name6] "Group member" [data5][Address2][City2] [State2]
7)[Name7] [data6][Address3][City3] [State3]
