Re: $$Excel-Macros$$ Un-selecting a cell being copied
The trick is to select another cell... at any given time, at least one cell WILL be selected (if not any other object) in a sheet.

Re: $$Excel-Macros$$ Un-selecting a cell being copied
Sam, I've already tried thatbut it doesn't remove the animation around the cell that I copied from. I guess I really need a double-click option, rather than just a select option. I could select fifty different cells in succession, and still not remove the original animated cursors. Also (since you're being so helpful), any ideas on how to paste JUST the value of cell? I'm sure there's a paste special action that I'm missing somewhere, but I'm not having great success. (This is necessary because I need four separate options copied and pasted as static totals: One formula performs the calculations for each option, but the total can't be live linked to each option).

Re: $$Excel-Macros$$ Un-selecting a cell being copied
SH, I'd suggest you try recording macro and after you perform the copy paste special as values, check the macro, you should find how to write the code.
