Actually, there where some hidden sheets in the file that I inherited, scilly
but true. whein I included also these into the list of sheets not to be
handled it worked 100% perfect. So i could leave the merged cells as they are.

Many thanks for the help!!

Get rid of the merged cells, they are more trouble than they are worth.

Thanks Bob,

Excellent help !
This made it much better, but there is still one thing that this did not
solve. There are more than the 20 Identical sheets in the file that
contain
different calculations. I have achieved to avoid the texts being copied to
all but one of the sheets. I get a run-time
error '1004' warning that "Cannot change part of a merged cell" and then
the
following code is highlighted

Sheets("Parametrar").Range("b40:e77").Copy _
sh.Range("A31")
The mission is completed correctly but I dont want the error message to
appear.
------

The full code I use is inserted below

Sheets("Parametrar").Select
ActiveSheet.Unprotect Password:="tomstr"

Sheets("Parametrar").Range("b40:e77").Copy
ActiveSheet.Unprotect Password:="tomstr"
For Each sh In ActiveWorkbook.Worksheets
If sh.Name < "Parametrar" And sh.Name < "Projektbeskrivning" And
sh.Name
< "Fritexter" And sh.Name < "Kassaflöde" And sh.Name < "Provision &
Bank"
And sh.Name < "Valutakurser" And sh.Name < "Aktiva" And sh.Name <
"Sammanställning" And sh.Name < "Valuta & Betalningsplan" Then
sh.Unprotect Password:="tomstr"
Sheets("Parametrar").Range("b40:e77").Copy _
sh.Range("A31")
sh.Protect Password:="tomstr"
End If
Next

ActiveSheet.Protect Password:="tomstr"



Sheets("Projektbeskrivning").Select
ActiveSheet.Protect Password:="tomstr"
Range("a12").Select
Range("a2").Select
Range("a1").Select
End Sub

I want to insert a certain number of row texts into 20 identical
spreadsheets.
When I copy the area I want to insert then my macro stops after the
first
of
the 20 sheets.
I use "for x=1 to 20" "Next x" to acheive the repeated copy.

Is there a simple way to get the result i want?

20 sheets in one Workbook

The code I have is the following. It solves the problem but on slow
machines
in the organisation it takes time as I make three loops

-----------------------------------------------------------
ActiveSheet.Unprotect Password:="tomstr"

Sheets("Pos A").Select
For x = 1 To 20
ActiveSheet.Unprotect Password:="tomstr"
Range("a31").Select
ActiveSheet.Next.Select
Next x


Sheets("Parametrar").Select
Range("b40:e77").Select
Application.CutCopyMode = False
Selection.Copy

Sheets("Pos A").Select
For x = 1 To 20
ActiveSheet.Paste
ActiveSheet.Next.Select
Next x

Sheets("Pos A").Select
For x = 1 To 20
Range("a12").Select
Range("a2").Select
Range("a1").Select
ActiveSheet.Protect Password:="tomstr"
ActiveSheet.Next.Select
Next x

Sheets("Projektbeskrivning").Select
ActiveSheet.Protect Password:="tomstr"
Range("a12").Select
Range("a2").Select
Range("a1").Select
End Sub
