Seeking 2 enhancements to the Sub FillColBlanks() by Dave Peterson (pasted
below for easy reference)

1. Would like the flexibility to "select" either:
(a) a continuous multi-col range with the mouse, say: B3:E3, or
(b) a discontiguous multi-col range say: B3:D3, G3, K3
and then just run the sub once to work on the multi-col range

2. Any text numbers filled down the col(s) should not change to real
numbers. The original format to be retained.

Thanks for insights.
