Macro script wired to a button.
When button is pressed a block of cells is copied and paste-inserted to another part of the same page.
At the end of the script an empty cell is clicked to clear any highlighting.
Everything works as it should.
Until you close the doc.ots and reopen.
Now the button isn’t working.
The page kinda flickers but nothing happens.
A work around is to highlight and copy the block in question, then click the button.
Which fixes the problem.
And, the button works every time after that.
Close and re-open the doc.ots.
Now it’s back to the start with the button not working.
