- 1. xl2004 VBA code layout
Version: 2004 Operating System: Mac OS X 10.5 (Leopard) Processor: Intel Hi I'm new to xl2004 for Mac VBA. In the following Dim & Set statements a Run-Time error (9) Subscript out of Range comes up on the second Set line which is the second sheet. Is the code syntax different in xl2004 VBA? Dim wsDvd As Worksheet ' DVD Titles Dim wsTdx As Worksheet ' Title Index List Set wsDvd = Worksheets("DVD Titles") Set wsTdx = Worksheets("Title Index List") I'm trying to speed up the macro by not using Select whilst transferring data from one sheet to a second sheet and vice-versa. Example: wsDvd.Range("D29").Value = wsTdx.Range("C3").Value TIA Bob C - 2. Active Window No Longer There
Version: 2008 Operating System: Mac OS X 10.4 (Tiger) Processor: Power PC When I upgraded to Office for Mac 2008 for my fully-loaded G-4 PowerMac, I found that Excel no longer has an "active window" near the top of the spreadsheet that shows text or figures as you type. It's a convenience place to edit text or numbers. It appears that now you have to double-click on a row of the spreadsheet, and make your edits there -- which is more time-consuming and difficult. How do I get the active window to appear near the top of the spreadsheet? Is there a formula bar or window I don't know about? - 3. Printing from Excel
Version: 2008 Operating System: Mac OS X 10.5 (Leopard) Processor: intel Whenever I print from Excel the application crashes. It happens no matter what printer I'm using.

Convert those text cells to numbers: * Find a temporary cell and enter 1 as the value in that cell * Copy the temporary cell * Highlight your numbers cell range * Use Edit > Paste Special > Multiply to multiply all of those 1000 cells by 1. Excel will force them all to be numbers when it does that :-) Cheers On 4/06/10 12:35 AM, in article XXXX@XXXXX.COM , -- The email below is my business email -- Please do not email me about forum matters unless I ask you to; or unless you intend to pay!
