Default MACROS

Are your macros in a workbook that also has data?

If yes, then
Start a new workbook
Copy all the macros to this new workbook (inside the VBE)
Back to excel and use File|SaveAs and choose addin.
Choose a nice name:
KevinsUtilities.xla (.xlam if you're using xl2007)

Save it to your XLStart folder.

But you'll want to make it easy for the user (you???) to access those macros.

Saved from a previous post:

For additions to the worksheet menu bar, I really like the way John Walkenbach
does it in his menumaker workbook:

Here's how I do it when I want a toolbar:

(from Debra Dalgleish's site)

In xl2007, those toolbars and menu modifications will show up under the addins.

And if you use xl2007:

If you want to learn about modifying the ribbon, you can start at Ron de Bruin's
site:
http://www.rondebruin.nl/ribbon.htm
http://www.rondebruin.nl/qat.htm -- For macros for all workbooks (saved as an
addin)
or
http://www.rondebruin.nl/2007addin.htm

And Bob Phillips shows a way to use a wrapper so that it can work in both xl2003
and xl2007.

The last post ( separate lines)helped greatly.

Now how do I save my macros so that they open with all NEW Spreadsheets?
