Maybe Personal.xls which is a workbook that holds your global macros so's they
are available for all open workbooks?
Personal.xls is created the first time you record a Macro using Macro
Recorder.
Tools>Macro>Record New Macro. A dialog box will come up asking you name the
macro and where to place it. Pick Personal Macro Workbook from the dropdown.
Copy and paste a couple of cells then Stop Recording.
You now have a Personal.xls in your Office\XLSTART folder. You can go to
Visual Basic Editor(Alt+F11) to view the macro you just recorded in a Module.
You can add more macros by recording or by typing them into the Module.
You can do a File>Save from there or better yet hit ALT + Q to return to the
Excel window.
Then with Personal.xls active, hit Window>Hide.
When you close Excel you will be asked if you want to save Personal.xls. Yes!
It will open hidden next time you start Excel.
