Alright So i have a macro to do my bidding...I think : This is for
changing all the abbriviations in column 1 to the words in column 2 of
sheet 2 INTO sheet one's information... So my question is how can i
change it to search (change range?) to the one on my doucument. The
dementions are as follows: From Column A - CU and it is 763 rows! :

Well here is the Macro right now... Just asking is this will change the
items from sheet2 on sheet1 and how to make it search over that vast
amount of space!

Thanks everyone for your help thus far!~

The only code I added:

Sub EFG()
Worksheets("Sheet1").Select
Worksheets("Sheet1").Range("A1:CU773").Select
X = Selection.Value

End Sub

Works just fine. Any errors must be due to your existing code,
incompatibilities with you existing code, or something to do with your
sheet.
