how do I turn the screen off during macro execution
 

There a way to turn off the screen when macros are executing so you can't see
the macro running and then turn the screen on to display the results when the
macro has completed. I can't figure out how to do this in excel 2007.

I don't have 2007 but I think this will work.

Application.ScreenUpdating = False
'your code
Application.ScreenUpdating = True

See Howard's reply for turning off the jumping around.

If your code is written properly there may no need for jumping around.

Get rid of "selects" and "activates" as much as possible.

Example from macro recorder.......

Range("A1:A19").Select
Selection.Copy
Sheets("Sheet1").Select 'or Activate
Range("A7").Select
ActiveSheet.Paste

Can be written as...........

Range("A1:A19").Copy Sheets("Sheet1").Range("A7")
