It means you've declared a variable named "range". The VBE will
override the type capitalization with the variable one.

In general, declaring a variable with a VBA keyword is a bad idea,
not only for this reason, but because of the other confusion it can
cause the reader.

My understanding is that in declaring variables, if the
data type is, say, "Range", with a capital "R", it is
recognized as a valid data type in VBA. If, when typing
in the lower-case text the "r" does not capitalize, does
this mean VBA does not recognize the Dim line
with "range" as a valid declaration? If so, what to do
about it?
