RE: macros

Hello Jesse

Thank you for your question and welcome to the forum.

When you go to run a macro, you have the option of selecting Macros in: All Open Workbooks.

That way if you have created and saved a macro in one workbook you should be able to access and run it in other workbooks, provided the workbook you created it in is open at the time when you want to run the macro.

I hope this helps to answer your question.

Excel tip:

Change the Print button so it brings up the Print dialogue box

If you want to bring up the Print dialogue box to check your print settings when you hit the Print button, do the following:

1. Right-click on the toolbar that displays the Print button.

2. Select Customise.

3. Click on the Print button on the toolbar to select it, then hold the left mouse button down and drag the button towards the screen below. The button should come off the toolbar.

4. In the Customise dialogue box on your screen, select the Commands tab.

5. Select File from the Categories list, and then locate the Print... icon (looks like the normal Print button, but the word Print has three dots following it).

6. Click on the Print... icon to select it, then use your left mouse to drag and drop the icon onto the toolbar at the top of the screen.

7. Close the Customise dialogue box.
