Macro: Trying to record Find "word" select all, insert shift to right. Doesn't play back

[johndoe79]

Ok, this seems to work fine when I do it live, but if I record it with a Macro and play it back I get a run-time error. I noticed what I'm doing isn't totally within the code.

Basically I want to find all instances of a word, and shift those cells over.

Let's say it's the word "cat"

I go to find, type cat, hit ctrl A

right click on one of the instances, select insert, shift cells right.

It's fine when I do it live, but when I run the macro I get a run time error.

However the VBA just shows this:

No references to me going to find the word "cat" or anything.

Any idea?

johndoe, please use code tags when posting code - I have added them for you...this time (see my footnote on how to use/add them)

Please take a moment to amend your thread title. Make sure that the title properly explains your request. Your title should be explicit and not be generic (this includes function names used without an indication of what you are trying to achieve).
