HI,

I am trying to loop through all the cells in thisworkbook and change the background color to vbyellow. My code so far is as follows:

Code:
Sub testdata()


Dim nm As Variant


For Each nm In ThisWorkbook.Names
    Range(nm.RefersTo).Interior.Color = vbYellow
Next nm


End Sub

It draws an error at the range() function which makes me think this method will not work. Any help will be appreciated.

What is the shortcut key for Format Selection?
Ctrl+1 (the number one) will open the Format dialog for whatever is selected.
