Lisa,

I am unsure what you are asking exactly about the offset.
But you can shift your current selection using offset, for
example, if range "A1:C10" is currently selected you can
shift or move your current selection to "F6:H15" using the
following:

Selection.Offset(5, 5).Select

As far as recording a macro using relative references, I
guess you already know you can turn it off manually: after
you turn on the recorder, the on/off relative references
button appears on the "Stop Recording" toolbar. I don't
think there is a way to set a particular default on it.

When I use ActiveCell.Offset(row,column).Select, I am
able
to select any cell in a position relative to the active
cell. I would like to know if it is possible to select
more than one cell at a time (or a range) that is put in
a
position relative to the active cell. Also, is it
possible
to record a macro that automatically uses relative
references instead of absolute references? Thank you.
