Made a Discovery - If you use paste special Layout will allow you to record position and zorder. If you use plain paste Layout is not an option. So unless there is something I havent clicked or dropped down for options this seems to be my only choice - paste special.

I can change layout as much as I want when macro recorder is closed (stopped, paused) but as soon as I initiate the recorder, layout area goes 'dead.' I successfully did this the other day, but not this time. Any ideas?
