[mso] Re: Replicate Worksheets, Make Unique Block Names

Hi Ray,
how are you copying the sheet? If you right-click on the "Sheet1" tab 
and choose "move or copy", and then click on the box "Create a copy", 
Excel will copy the sheet *including*  the range names (which I 
presume is what you are calling "blocks"). The formulas in the new 
sheet will apply to the ranges in them.
