Cross-post is when you post one message with several news groups in the
"newsgroups" dialog.

microsoft.public.worksheet.functions,microsoft.pub lic.excel,microsoft.public.excel.misc

Note the comma between each group.

All the regulars monitor all the Excel news groups, so if the topic is Excel, no
need to post to more than one group.

Although I should amend that..........the programming group is strictly for VBA
so if you have a VBA question you would be best posting to that group.

Multi-posting is when you post similar messages singly to each group.

Those of us who use real newsreaders can pick up the cross-posts and flag them.

No way to flag multi-posts.

Also, could someone let me know please how to cross-post on this Newsgroup.
I offended some users earlier today by posting a similar question on several
newsgroups and someone suggested that I cross-post instead of multi-post.
How do I cross-post?
