Bearing in mind that I am certainly no more than intermediate level
Excel user, I wish to run a macro in the following way:

A combo box has a linked cell, the user selects from combo box and the
linked cell then contains text. As part of macro (A), I copy this text
into the code of another macro (B), and still in macro (A) I then run
macro (B), reorganising my spreadsheet in the desired fashion. Also in
A, I return macro (B) to its initial state, allowing macro A to run
again.

When I actually try to do this, I either have trouble pasting the
user's choice, the paste is there but inactive in the right click
department, or I get run time errors, with yellow highlighting or red
text in the code of macro A.

The macro code seems to use a "with...end with" reference type routine
which is unfamiliar to me.

I perhaps shouldn't be using a combo box, is there an alternative ? The
nearest analogy to it working I can think of is a user searching on a
website from a list of options. Select a, b, c, or d and the computer
returns stuff relevant to a, b, c, or d.

Not clear what you mean by copying text into a macro. Post the code for a
better response.
