Per John Walkenbach...
"This is a workbook (Personal.xls) that is stored in your XlStart directory.
Whenever you start Excel, this workbook is loaded. It's a hidden workbook,
so it's out of your way. When you record a macro, one of your options is to
record it to your Personal Macro Workbook. The Personal.xls file doesn't
exist until you record a macro to it."

Hope this helps,

Sorry, I'm familiar with creating macros and module -
Although, what do you mean by 'personal.xls'?

I think you're going to need to creaet a couple of
custom buttons and macros.
In your 'Personal.xls' workbook, insert a module.
TOOLS / MACRO / VISUAL BASIC EDITOR
then
** Highlight 'Personal.xls'
then
INSERT / MODULE

In that module, copy the following code...

'/============================/
Public Sub MySubscript()
With Selection.Font
.Superscript = False
.Subscript = True
End With
End Sub
'/============================/
Public Sub MySuperscript()
With Selection.Font
.Superscript = True
.Subscript = False
End With
End Sub
'/============================/

Now, put 2 buttons on your 'Formatting' toolbar (or
whereever).
Right-click in the toolbar area and select 'Customize'.
Under 'Categories', scroll down to 'Macros'. In
the 'Commands' window,
left-click on the smiley face and drag it up to
whereever in the toolbar area
you want.
Right-click on the button. In the Name box, put
SUPERSCRIPT.
Left-click on 'Assign Macro' and select 'MySuperscript'
then select 'OK'.
Select 'Close'.
Repeat for the SUBSCRIPT macro.

**Note: If you don't see 'Personal.xls', go back to
your workbook.
TOOLS / MACRO / RECORD NEW MACRO
In the 'Store Macro In' dropdown box, select 'Personal
Macro Workbook'.
Select 'OK'. The Macro button should appear. Now move
the cursor and click
on the macro button to stop the macro recording.
What this has done is simply to create 'Personal.xls'.
By the way, next time you record a new macro, remember
to change back from
'personal Macro Workbook' to 'This Workbook'.
