Hi,

I have the following Excel Module that creates a new formula called Findword,

Currently I have to press Alt + F11 and add it as a new module everytime I open up a new workbook, is there a way to save it in the background so it can automatically be used in every workbook

<code class="vb keyword" style="white-space: nowrap; padding: 0px !important; font-family: Consolas, "Bitstream Vera Sans Mono", "Courier New", Courier, monospace !important; font-size: 1em !important;

Excel Facts

Bring active cell back into view
Start at A1 and select to A9999 while writing a formula, you can't see A1 anymore. Press Ctrl+Backspace to bring active cell into view.
Re: VBA Module to automatically work in every excel doc

You could save it in you personal.xlsb & call it like
=personal.xlsb!FindWord(...

Re: VBA Module to automatically work in every excel doc

You simply do the same as you would adding it to a new workbook.
If you don't already have a personal.xlsb then start the macro recorder, select a cell & stop the recorder.
This will create the personal file, just remember to save it.
