Is there a quick way to set a border around every cell in a range?

I have a macro that is producing various data onto a number of worksheets. All the cells should have a border around them. I know I can use something like
ActiveCell.BorderAround Weight:=xlMedium, ColorIndex:=xlAutomatic
for each cell but this seems long and laborious. Is there some kind of for each loop such as - for each cell in a selected range set BorderAround. Alternatively is there a way to select a range and then withoe command format all the cells with border around?

Any advice is greatly appreciated

i got the following macro. this deals with a range already selected... and sets the border for each cell.

dont know if it helps you.

Sub borderit()

Selection.Borders(xlDiagonalDown).LineStyle = xlNone
Selection.Borders(xlDiagonalUp).LineStyle = xlNone
With Selection.Borders(xlEdgeLeft)
.LineStyle = xlContinuous
.Weight = xlThin
.ColorIndex = xlAutomatic
End With
With Selection.Borders(xlEdgeTop)
.LineStyle = xlContinuous
.Weight = xlThin
.ColorIndex = xlAutomatic
End With
With Selection.Borders(xlEdgeBottom)
.LineStyle = xlContinuous
.Weight = xlThin
.ColorIndex = xlAutomatic
End With
With Selection.Borders(xlEdgeRight)
.LineStyle = xlContinuous
.Weight = xlThin
.ColorIndex = xlAutomatic
End With
With Selection.Borders(xlInsideVertical)
.LineStyle = xlContinuous
.Weight = xlThin
.ColorIndex = xlAutomatic
End With
With Selection.Borders(xlInsideHorizontal)
.LineStyle = xlContinuous
.Weight = xlThin
.ColorIndex = xlAutomatic
End With
End Sub

Try:

For each cell in selection
cell.BorderAround Weight:=xlMedium
Next
