Sub InsertRows()
Application.ScreenUpdating = False
Dim numRows As Integer
Dim r As Long
numRows = 20
For r = 265 To 1 Step -1
ActiveSheet.Rows(r + 1).Resize(numRows).EntireRow.Insert
Next r
Application.ScreenUpdating = True
End Sub

If not familiar with VBA and macros, see David McRitchie's site for more on

In the meantime..........

First...create a backup copy of your original workbook.

To create a General Module, hit ALT + F11 to open the Visual Basic Editor.

Hit CRTL + r to open Project Explorer.

Find your workbook/project and select it.

Right-click and InsertModule. Paste the code in there. Save the
workbook and hit ALT + Q to return to your workbook.

Run the macro by going to ToolMacroMacros.

You can also assign this macro to a button or a shortcut key combo.

stupid question. Sorry!
