Default How can you change excel macros from absolute to relative?

Hi

When you choose ToolsMacroRecord New Macro after the clicking OK to
the dialogue box offering you the chance to name the macro, you should
get a small floating Toolbar with the Stop Recording button and a small
graphic to the right of this.
Clicking the small graphic to the right of the Stop button toggles
Absolute to Relative referencing.

Sometimes, this toolbar can disappear if you have stopped the macro
recording in another manner.
To re-invoke it, choose ToolsMacroRecord New Macro
Move the cursor over a toolbar and RIGHT click, then select STOP
RECORDING from the pop-up that appears, and the tool bar will show
itself .
Click the Stop recording button
..
The Floating Toolbar should now re-appear when you try to record another
macro, enabling you to select your Relative addressing.

Thank you for your response. However, how does one switch to relative
addressing? I THOUGHT I knew Excel but maybe not as well as I
imagined lol!

These are NOT formulas ok? I want to do the same change to a
variety
of
different rows/columns in the form of a macro I can run via control
key combo
shortcut. How can I do this so that the default macro is not
absolute
and in
fact only performs the keystroke steps I want the macro to record?

Can anyone help me here???

Thanks for your efforts! :)
