a bizarre thing - Ctrl+A

  Asked By: Koila    Date: Jan 01    Category: MS Office    Views: 616
  

I know this may be a stupid question, but I have to ask anyway.(this
may add the stupidity...)

I created two new workbooks - book2 and book3. The inital active
workbook is book2. F2 is actually an empty cell and Column A can C
are populated.

I pressed Ctrl+A -> Ctrl+C -> go to books ->Ctrol+V.And then Alt+F11.

The operation went well. I chose everything on that activesheet of
workbook2 adn then copied it to book3.

When I Alt+F11, I can't see where is "Ctrl+A". I was expecting
something between <Range("F2").Activate> and <Selection.Copy>. For
me, it looks like the code will only copy F2, but in fact, it chose
the whole sheet and made copy of it.

Then, where is Ctrl+A?

Below is the recorded macro.

Sub Macro2()

Cells.Select
Range("F2").Activate
Selection.Copy
Windows("Book3").Activate
ActiveSheet.Paste
End Sub

Selecting all the cells is in the "Cells.select" command. The
"Range("f2").activate" is basically just telling Excel where to put the
cursor.

The problem is: I chose F2 before I pressed  Ctrl+A, how come the
cells.select is even before Range("F2").Activate?
