Default Intra-workbook hyperlink: macro/function to return to hyperlink ce

I'm creating a workbook to be used by non-Excel users. It includes a number
of worksheets and uses hyperlinks between certain data and a worksheet of
corresponding footnotes at the end of the workbook.

I've used hyperlinks to direct users to the footnotes easily, but I can't
find a function that aids the user in going back to the cell and tab in which
the user clicked the hyperlink - any ideas?

Ideally I'd like to create a macro button at the top of the footnote page
that "returns to previous cell", regardless of which footnote was viewed. (I
realize I could create separate macros linking each footnote back to its
specific hyperlink, but I'm really only interested in a "universal"
go-back-one-step-type function)

Any thoughts would be very much appreciated!!!!

Thank YOU!!!

marika...

I am trying to do the same sort of thing with similar lack of success. It
has been a while since you posted. I'd be interested in hearing how you
accomplished this.

Barry - I'm running out the door right now but will write tonight. I found a
solution that worked perfectly and easily, however it will take a while for
me to explain Hope you can wait til then :)

Marika1981-I found a "sort of solution" using hyperlinks to the source page
where I have a series of layouts that I want to copy, then manually using the
"alt left arrow" to return to the target page where I want to insert the
layouts. However, I am still struggling with a macro or code to do the same
thing.
