What did you do? What kind of error message did you get.

That's right, you'll have to re-create the rectangles manually (or possibly put a call to the generator function in the Workbook_Open handler). > To get around this, I tried to copy and paste a rectangle from the > sample sheet to my own document.

Thank you. Well, I just copied the macro code for both SetupOneTime and SortTable into a Code Module, run the SetupOneTime macro through Alt+F8, and everything worked as expected.
