Would one paste this code into their Personal.xls file so that it is always
available?
TIA,

Hello,

I tried a couple methods posted on the internet, yet to find a working
one. If you have something working, can you share? Thank you!

Sincerely,
Steven Deng




et voila!

I've adapted Jamie Collins original as found on Dick Kuslieka's Blogs...

1) It searches a bit harder for the immediate pane

2) It can be used in 'NonEnglish' Excel
No longer hardcoded for "Immediate" and CtrlA.

It does require "Access to the Visual Basic Project"
but so does Jamie's original :)

Have fun!
