Hi All:

Is there any way to capture what has been placed in the Shift+Del buffer?
I'd like to create a Macro to do the following:
-Edit a cell (F2)
-Select a range of text in the cell (highlighted text)
-Run this macro:
--which asks for text to replace the selected text
--stores the "find" and the "replace" strings to a file
I was able to do this for Word (code below), but what gets me is how to
assign a Selection to copy in Excel - the simplest thing I've thought of was
to use the Shift+Del / Shift+Insert buffer - is this possible?
TIA, JS

text", , Twhat, 0, 0)

Open "C:\MacroALQ.txt" For Append Access Write As #1
Print #1, Twhat & "¡" & Twith & "¡" & Format(Date, "yyyy-mm-dd") & "¡" &
