Add it in a sub in a standard module
I did use it in the following manner. but aint working
Sub Paste()
Range("A10:A1048576").NumberFormat = "R0000"
End Sub

You're not real clear on what you're trying to do but Malcolms code works for me.
I had to shorten the number of cells it worked on because I have v2003 but if you click the button on the attachment it will change the number 2222 to R2222
Additionally, any 4 digit number you type into the range affected will be formatted with an R in front of them.
Edit: Attachment added.

It works for me (as I understand it), although I wouldn't use Paste as a Sub name. Can you clarify what you are trying to achieve?
Guys cool down. What I want is really very simple. It goes like this.
What I want is that to past a number that is in the format R0001 into the rows of the column starting from A10 to A1048576.
I want a shortcut or an easy way to do this.
The only way that I know to do is highlighting the column starting from the row A10 and dragging the highlighting to the last row of the sheet. I guess this is a difficult way.
So I need a short cut to do this.
I hope I have made my question clear
Fill down? Is that what you are looking for?
I really dont get it.
yeah just to paste the number in the column A starting form the row A10 and ending to A1048576
So is it always going to do fill down from A10 to A1048576?
No changes?
yeah I only want to paste the number format in my sheet. when I know how to paste the code I can handle rest. I just want to know how to do that dear

fiza, I have to say, I find your attitude towards those trying to help you to be a little condescending.
Please try to keep it friendly while here.
lucas, I feel very sad to hear such a thing from you. I believe that's a total misunderstanding of me.
I have always respected those who help me. And I have never tried to be superior than any human who helps me. This is the first time in my whole life somebody has said such a thing to me. In my life wherever I have been I have always tried got the love and affection of the surrounding.
By the way, are you referreing to my signature? or are you wanting me to leave this forum.
I'm really shocked to hear such a thing from a forum administrator.
If you feel that I'm "a little condescending" I dont want to be a little condescending.

Nothing to do with your signature and I may have taken what you considered joking in the wrong way. It just didn't come across as funny to me.
I hope you are just kidding around and just asking you to keep it friendly. That's all.
I wasn't joking. Because I don't regard this forum as a joke. Instead I take it as a professional thing.
I do really appreciate all of your members work. That does provide a change in others life.
I had subscribed to many forums, but never did come across a forum where one of the administrators had pop up with an annoying & shocking answer or suggestion on me.
Anyways, lets leave the subject & be a bit more professional.
I wish all of you members success in your work & happiness in your life.
By the way still I haven't got the answer to my question; If I may ask.

If this is not your answer, please me more specific regarding your question.
Sub Paste()
ActiveCell.Copy Range("A10:A1048576")
End Sub
Thanks mdmackillop. That was the code I was searching for.

For simple tasks, try recording a macro which will give you code such as
Sub Macro1()
Selection.Copy
Range("A10:A25").Select
ActiveSheet.Paste
End Sub
You can easily substitute your own values and, with practice, tidy it up to the essential elements.
Thanks for the help. And I take your advice.
