Default Showing Formulas

From John Walkenbach's storehouse of macros.

Sub ListFormulas()
'from John Walkenbach
Dim FormulaCells As Range, cell As Range
Dim FormulaSheet As Worksheet
Dim Row As Integer
Dim ws As Worksheet
' Create a Range object for all formula cells
On Error Resume Next
Set FormulaCells = Range("A1").SpecialCells(xlFormulas, 23)

' Exit if no formulas are found
If FormulaCells Is Nothing Then
MsgBox "No Formulas."
Exit Sub
End If

' Add a new worksheet
Application.ScreenUpdating = False
Set FormulaSheet = ActiveWorkbook.Worksheets.Add
FormulaSheet.Name = "Formulas in " & FormulaCells.Parent.Name

' Set up the column headings
With FormulaSheet
Range("A1") = "Address"
Range("B1") = "Formula"
Range("C1") = "Value"
Range("A1:C1").Font.Bold = True
End With

' Process each formula
Row = 2
For Each cell In FormulaCells
Application.StatusBar = Format((Row - 1) / FormulaCells.Count, "0%")
With FormulaSheet
Cells(Row, 1) = cell.Address _
(RowAbsolute:=False, ColumnAbsolute:=False)
Cells(Row, 2) = " " & cell.Formula
Cells(Row, 3) = cell.Value
Row = Row + 1
End With
Next cell

' Adjust column widths
FormulaSheet.Columns("A:C").Cells.WrapText = True ''AutoFit
Application.StatusBar = False
End Sub

Ctrl-` (grave) will toggle between displaying formulas and their

Is there some way to show the formulas used and their current values
in a report?

I do not want to toggle between showing and hiding the formulas. I
want the formulas to be on the printed report so readers know how a
column was calculated.
Thanks
