Simultaneous running of macros...

Curious to know is there a way to run multiple macros at once...literally at the same time.

For example, let's say I had a macro "A" which works well but takes three hours to complete...

I'm wondering if I open three sessions of MS Excel and run macro "A1", "A2", and "A3" if I can cut down the time to one hour...since it was stacked/parallel processed.

The only thing I could come up with (which may no work) is to create multiple timed events for the macros to be triggered independently at the same time (or staggered by a bit of time)...

Any thoughts would be helpful...

Copy a format multiple times
Select a formatted range. Double-click the Format Painter (left side of Home tab). You can paste formatting multiple times. Esc to stop
maybe you could look into tuning your current macro to improve the speed, can you post the code
