Cell variable name
 

I am writing a custom macro and have a very basic question... I want to
locate a certain cell by seraching for a specific word and then automatically
highlight a range of cells under or next to that cell. I can do this
manually by Searching for that keyword (which locates the cell in my
workbook) and then SHIFT+ARROWS to hightlight the adjacent cells. However,
when I try to automate this in a macro, it finds the cell ok, but then
records the hard values of the cell range rather than being referenced to the
cell that a searched for. The result is that the macro ends up finding the
same range rather than searching each workbook individually.

Any thoughts? If there was a way locate the keyword by the Search command
and then somehow copy the cell's address as a variable, I could probably work
out a formula from there, but I don't see a way to copy the cell's address.

Thank you for any help.
