OK :) Wellcome to "hair pullers club" :)
As John said recording a macro is a good way of "stealing" how to. It's not as straight forward all the time but 99% works. Just be carefull what an object "applies too". For a quick starter :
Range("B5:Z10")
Range("B5:G10,A6:Z7,1:1,M:M")
are valid ranges :) Try this :

ox=createobject("Excel.Application")
with ox
 .Workbooks.Add
 with .ActiveWorkBook.ActiveSheet
   .Range("B5:G10,A6:Z7,1:1,M:M").Select
 endwith
 .Visible = .t.
endwith

If you plan cells carefully you can "sign" with selection :)
