I just noticed in your subject line you referred to COM-object. Sorry I 
overlooked that. When you work with an Office program such as Excel, you 
work with its DOM (Document Object Model).

So please show us how far you have come with the COM program. How well 
you understand the DOM? You need a handle on the range and selections 
objects. AFAIK there is no easy way to simulate keyboard behavior, and 
the DOM is far more powerful.
