Default "Marching ants" around copied cell

Would that be the same if the code was saved in PERSONAL.xls?

???

I'm not following you.

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.
