You could also just use the original macro you first posted and then just hide the first column (i have no idea why this works). It eliminates having to scroll back up, though you’d have to insert and hide the first column of each worksheet…

Disable Screen updating and move cursor just out of view for screen capture

Sub MoveCursor()
Application.ScreenUpdating = False
Do
ActiveCell.Offset(1, 0).Select
Loop Until Intersect(Rows(ActiveCell.Row), ActiveWindow.VisibleRange) Is Nothing

Do
ActiveCell.Offset(0, 1).Select
Loop Until Intersect(Columns(ActiveCell.Column), ActiveWindow.VisibleRange) Is Nothing
End Sub

Regards
Andrew

Beate...

Add another line..

CommandButton1.Visible = False

The button and the cursor will disappear

and in the worksheet selection change

Private Sub Worksheet_SelectionChange(ByVal Target As Range)
CommandButton1.Visible = True

End Sub

to bring the button back...

Hi,

another proposal:

Put a CommandButton into the sheet with following code:

Private Sub CommandButton1_Click()
ActiveWindow.ScrollIntoView 0, 0, 1, 1
CommandButton1.TakeFocusOnClick = True
End Sub

Regards,
Beate

Neil: I use a shareware product HyperSnap from http://www.hyperionics.com/ It has lots of bells and whistles I have never used. I've used its ability to (a) define the region to snap, (b) optionally capture the cursor, and (c) snap a picture after a delay. Combine them and it's possible to show all kinds of things.

A competitor to HyperSnap that others have made very positive comments about is SnagIt from http://www.techsmith.com/

Neil:

Use a picture of a cursor in you excel workbook. You can then place this where ever you want and then do a printscreen.
Check your Windows directory for a folder called Cursors.

Neil,

I use a freeware screen grabber called HardCopy (http://www.hardcopy.de) which allows you to insert a variety of standard cursor shapes (arrow, I-beam, egg-timer etc). It won’t allow you to do stuff like the cursor you get when hovering over the join between two columns but maybe you can draw your own close approximation.
