Would like the macro to read:
Go to first blank cell in column, then copy the information from the row
above into the first blank row, without specifing the row number in the
macro, so that it remains flexible, thank you.

Hi Trixie,

I'm assuming you have some knowledge of using macros from the wording
of your question.

Try the below code (adapted from Bob Phillip's post,
http://www.excelforum.com/showthread.php?t=500529):

Sub CopyToFirstBlankRow()
Dim LastRow As Long
LastRow = ActiveSheet.Cells(rows.Count, "A").End(xlUp).Row
ActiveSheet.Range("A" & LastRow).EntireRow.Copy ActiveSheet.Range("A"
_
& LastRow + 1)
End Sub

fyi, Bob didn't include "activesheet." on his post but it appears that
I need it in my setup of Excel (not sure why?).

The above copies the entire row, if you only want some info copied (eg
col's A to L) try changing the copy line to something like:
ActiveSheet.Range("A" & LastRow & ":L" & LastRow).Copy _
ActiveSheet.Range("A" & LastRow + 1)

No problem thank you for answering. I am a beginner at this but am lucky
enough to know exactly what I require. I am looking for other basic codes
too e.g. highlight the row the cursor is in (and spell check, or find
specific words)... Would you happen to know where I can find the basics? I
struggle with the command - in the active cell / row. Also, the macros made
the spreadsheet rather large is there any way I can recude the size? Thanks
heaps.

This post was EXACTLY what I was looking for.. Although I am pretty new
to excel and am having some problems.

I did it to run but it is not going to the first blank cell, is it
going to the first blank cell at the bottom and copying and filling.
Is there a way to change that?

Basically what I have and need to do is..
Row1 = "Blah"
Then the next 500 rows under that column are empty.

Row 501 = "SomethingElse" Then blank rows until whatever..

I need something to fill in 2-500 with "Blah"

Then 502-whatever with "SomethingElse"

I hope that takes sense, from reading the post about this.. That is
what it is suppose to do but I can't get it to work. I just jumps to
the very bottom and starts and skips all the blank rows above it.

Any help would be so greatly appreciated, I have been messing with this
for hours and I need to get it done tonight..

Hi
" I am a beginner..." Me too, but I love the challenge!

To highlight the row the cursor is in, have a look at:
http://excelforum.com/showthread.php?t=520284

For spellcheck/find, I'd suggest starting by recording a macro of your
actions so that you have some code to modify/adapt.

" I struggle with the command - in the active cell / row. "
With regards to what?

The macro below shouldn't have made much of a difference to file size.
How large is "rather large"?
Try going to the last row, selecting all the rows underneath it & then
using the menus edit-delete (not the delete key as this just clears the
cell contents) and repeating this with the empty columns at the right of
your sheet.Also, the link below seems to have quite a few suggestions re
file size:

Some other sources of info for optimising macros/worksheets:
