Please help.

I want to select the used range with the first 1 row not to select.
If I use the Offset to select :-
Selection.Offset(1,0).Select
The range will be down 1 row and an empty row after the last used row will
also be selected
If I use the resize:-
Selection.Resize(numRows -1, numColumns).Select
The last used row will be deselected.

What exactly should I write ?

Thanks in advance
