Personal Macro Mystery
You are best off to place your macros in Personal Macro Workbook. This is a
workbook that is opened (but not visible as a regular workbook would be) by default every time XL is opened and the macros will be available to all open workbooks... -- HTH...

Personal Macro Mystery
My choice is to record into a new workbook. (Make sure you save that workbook
when you've made changes you don't want to lose!) Then when you're happy with the macro's behavior, you can copy the code from that development workbook and paste it into a module in your "real" workbook. I'd rather not take a chance that I'll screw up my good macros while playing with one that isn't perfect.
