    How to use macros that can work on different Worksheets

    I'm pretty novice at programming Macros and coding VB so this is must be very basic question but I can't figuring it out by myself. I have recorded a Macro that moves and arranges some cells around my worksheet .it works wonderful until I tried to apply this Macro on another worksheet and then it stopped working right were the file name of the previous document was.

    Thanks SocratesJC that was exactly what I needed. I have another question. On the same spreadsheet I need to delete certain rows that contain a specific information. In this case I need to delete every row that contains the words "ShipSvc:USPS..." . How to do in on VBA?

    Here is an example of my spreadsheet:

    Assuming that column is column D, this is how I would do that, we delete all the found rows all at once at the end.

    Your welcome SteveBA. I'm glad that worked for you.

    Try JBeaucaire's suggested code above and let us know if it works also (and try to mark the thread as solved if this concludes the issue).
