Default Required fields in Excel

I'm brand new to using VB.

I have been playing around with setting up required fields in Excel. I
was lucky to find a post with the following code:

Private Sub Workbook_BeforeSave(ByVal SaveAsUI As Boolean, Cancel As
Boolean)
If Worksheets("Sheet1").Range("A2").Value = "" Then
Cancel = True
MsgBox "Please Fill-In A2"
End If
End Sub

I have tested this and it works fine. This basically ensures that excel
can't be saved unless the specified cells are filled in.

Now for a really stupid question. How do I save this script to the
excel workbook so that I can distribute to other users? Obviously if I
try and save the workbook itself it prompts me to enter the required
fields before saving, and if I just close without saving the script is
lost.

Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Thanks,

Jim
