Default regions in excel

There is no object named "Region". The only thing in Excel related to
a "Region" is the CurrentRegion property of a Range. The CurrentRegion
is a rectangular range which contains the specified cell and is
bounded on all four sides entirely by blank cells (or the edge of the
worksheet). E.g.,

Debug.Print ActiveCell.CurrentRegion.Address

I don't believe there is any way to get all of the regions that define
all the data on a worksheet. You could do it with a brute force loop,
looking at the CurrentRegion for every cell in the UsedRange, but that
could get very large and slow for a worksheet with a lot of data.

Cordially,

Hi:
Two questions:
What is technically defined as an excel region?
2. Is there a way with the object model to detect the different regions in a
spreadsheet.
Cheers
