Hi Hutch, Many thanks, the code works, but also kicks up an error dialog box which says "Run-time error '1004': That command cannot be used on multiple selections". When I hit debug, it highlights in yellow the last two lines of the code starting with Selection.PasteSpecial Is there a way of getting rid of this error message since the code actually works?
