Macros

we are told not to click the x on the macro button. What happens if we did this?

RE: macros

Hi Richard, Thank you for your post, I hope you have enjoyed the Holiday season, in answer to your question:
If during recording you click on the X button to close the Stop Recording toolbar, you do not Stop Recording the macro, all you have done is close the Toolbar, and this has become a part of your recording. You then have to stop recording by following the options Tools, Macro, Stop Recording. However the next time you wish to record a macro the macro toolbar will not appear automatically, causing you to have to open it from the View, Toolbars menu command, also being recorded as part of your macro, this will cause your macro to run incorrectly or fail. I hope that helps, best regards Pete

Excel tip:

Hiding a worksheet in Excel

Want to circulate an Excel workbook file but keep certain worksheets hidden from your colleagues' view?

You can do so by bringing up the sheet you wish to hide on your screen; then going to Format - Sheet - Hide.

It will not be immediately obvious that a sheet is hidden from view unless perhaps the sheet are still labelled Sheet 1, Sheet 2 etc.

To display the sheet again, you can go to Format - Sheet - Unhide on any of the other sheets in the workbook. A dialogue box will appear, allowing you to select the hidden sheet/s. Click OK to make the sheet/s reappear again.
