Save Macro

[VL]

My Macro was saved in Personal Macro Workbook. How can I retrieve this
workbook.

How to make the macro run in other spreadsheets without copying it each time

I'm using version 2003. Thanks.

hi
the personal.xls is placed the the xlstart folder so that it will open when
excel opens. the xlstart folder varies by version but in 03 i think it is.....
c:/program files/microsof office/office 10/xlstart
if the personal.xls is open, then all macros in the personal.xls will be
available for any and all files.

Or you could hit F8 to get to that run dialog quickly.

But someday, when you have more macros, you'll want to create a nicer way of
running them.

In xl2007, those toolbars and menu modifications will show up under the addins.

And if you use xl2007:
