it's pretty basic. if you don't like the command button, you could use a
label. they are some times more versital than button in that you can fit them
over a cell easier. the proceedure for labels and command button are about
the same.
the macro would go into a standard module
and you might want to stroll through here too.

How do I drop a command button to the spreadsheet?

probably the simplest way would be this
Sub zapitzero()
Range("A2,A2,G2,A4,E4,f4,A6:A8").Value = 0
End Sub

Add/remove cell references to suit.
you could attach the macro to a custom icon or drop a command button on the
sheet.

I wish to automatically enter a zero across multiple non-adjacent cells so as
to "refresh" a template at the beginning of a calculation. I have 255 such
ranges, although these cell are not yet set up as ranges. (eg j17:t52,
w17:z52, j59:t78, w59:z78......)
I currently keep an empty row - no data, only zeros - and each time I
refresh the spreadsheet I simply copy and paste the empty row across the rows
containing data. I works, but I think there could be an easier way?

Is there such a thing as "set range1, range 2.....range 255 = 0"?
