I receive a document every day in the form of an unformatted Excel
spreadsheet.

I have recorded a Macro to carry out the necessary re-formatting,
however when I receive the file every morning and go into TOOLS -
MACRO - MACROS, there are no existing macros there. I can only run
the macro if I open the Excel file in which I recorded and created it.

Is there any way in which I can save the macro open the unformatted
document so that it appears in the TOOLS - MACRO - MACROS menu or any
document I open?

Thanks

Ian, you could copy the macros to your Personal.XLS file. Odds are you have
one and can see it in the VB Editor. If not, record a simple macro and tell
Excel to save it in personal.xls. Excel will then create that file. This
file is opened automatically each time you open Excel.
