Default Save a cells selection as a set, group, or block

I am not aware of a way to save selection sets. I find that I have to change
formatting repeatedly for sets of selected cells. It would really help to
have the capacity to save selection sets with a custom name, etc. The styles
feature in excel is helpful but can't be used for referencing, drag and drop
operations, etc. Sure would be nice to see a pane of saved selection sets
where a check box or the like could be used to insert the selection set at
the function line for a formula or a command button that would add, subtract
from the current selection of active cells.

Select a set of cells, contiguous or non-contiguous.

InsertNameDefine...........give it a name and OK your way out.

Do this for each set of cells.

Then click in the nameox and select whatever name you want for your
operation.
