What did you do? What kind of error message did you get. You'll have
to be a bit more specific about your problem (which version of Excel,
for example).

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

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.
