Gord,

I did do the Delete on both rows and columns using the little program below.
It was wierd because 4 out of 5 sheets worked fine, but the 5th wouldn't
give it up. Finally I think I found a fix for last cell on MS web site (URL
below).

Sub deletelastcellrows()
'Delete rows below data
Range("A500", "IV65536").Select
Selection.Locked = False
Selection.FormulaHidden = False
Selection.Clear
Selection.Delete

'Delete columns to right of data
Range("CT8", "IV65536").Select
Selection.Locked = False
Selection.FormulaHidden = False
Selection.Clear
Selection.Delete
End Sub

Method 2: Use an Excel add-in
An Excel add-in that removes excess formatting and resets the last cell is
now available for download. To download this add-in, visit the following
Microsoft Web site:

Gord, thanks for the help. This thing could pop up again. John

Are you selecting ALL rows below data and editdeleteentire row?

SHIFT + End + DownArrow to select from end of data to row 65536

Same for columns to the right?

Never heard of a case where this did not reset the last cell after
saving/closing/re-opening.

Visit Debra Dalgleish's site for macro to reset last cell.
