Macro to global

PC1 · Apr 15th, 2002, 04:22 PM

I want to move my completed macro to the global file so that I can use the macro from any excel spreadsheet not just one workbook(worksheet) at a time. How do I do this. Thanks in advance.

Save it to Personal.xls

If you have never used Personal.xls then follow the following steps to edit it:

1. Test to see if Personal.xls already exists by going to Windows-Unhide. If this is an option then click unhide and this will unhide personal.xls.
2. Open up VBA and paste your code into a module in Personal.xls
3. If Unhide is not an option, then Personal.xls does not exist.
4. On the Tools menu, point to Macro, and then click Record New Macro.
5. To save the macro in a hidden workbook that is automatically loaded when you start Excel, choose Personal Macro Workbook.
6. Go back to step 1.
