The method that Simon is describing can only be used in the workbook in
which you place the code.

The method I use (which takes more work to setup) can be used in any
workbook.

Thanks, Simon. I'm going to tackle your instructions in the AM and report
back after. (Your method sounds especially good as you say it kills the
ants immediately after pasting.)

If you are ever given code for a standard module then use Alt+F11 as
before and instead of double clicking Thisworkbook, right click in that
area, choose Insert and then choose Module, then you can paste your code
in there. The best way to learn is to record a macro while you are doing
a task and then go back and take a look at the generated code, it's true
to say that you will see a lot of code that is excess to requirements
but it will give you a basic idea on how things are structured.
