How do you isolate each cell in a selected range?

I want a user to ctrl-click cells on one worksheet, and from that selection I will find corresponding information on another worksheet.

I know how to set the range to what has been selected and I know how to get the count of what is selected. But what I don't know is how to go through those selected items individually so that I can get the information I ultimately want to get.

So I found this code. However, as it goes through the loop, it simply goes to the cell directly below it and not the next cell in the selected range.

How do I identify the specific cells within the selected range?

Btw, the code between the IF and Else is not what I want; it's just something that was included in the original code.

Code:
Sub DistroList()
Dim Distro As String
Dim pmSelect As Integer
Dim i As Integer

areaCount = Selection.Areas.Count
If areaCount <= 1 Then
 MsgBox "The selection contains " & _
 Selection.Rows.Count & " rows."
Else
 i = 1
 For Each a In Selection.Areas
 MsgBox Cells(i, 4).Value
 i = i + 1
 Next a
End If
End Sub

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

Code:
Dim r As Range

For Each r In Selection
Debug.Print r.Address
Next

Depending what cells are selected, maybe
Code:
   Dim Rng As Range, Cl As Range
   For Each Rng In Selection.Areas
      For Each Cl In Rng
         MsgBox Cl.Address
      Next Cl
   Next Rng
