Excel program

It is conceptually achievable by writing some event handlers on the Workbook object to log some common actions taken by the user.
You may write the VBA as an Excel template, and create new workbooks from this template. Then the new workbooks will have the logging function.

Excel Template: log.xlt



The Excel template is named log.xlt. Besides event handlers, it contains a Module and a Class Module.

Drawback



Since VBA is involved in updating the log sheet, the undo/repeat function is rendered unusable.
This can be solved by using an external text file for logging, rather than using a worksheet. However, it is still not a perfect solution.

Note



Put the template into the Office template directory for Excel to locate it:

C:\Documents and Settings\Your User Name\Application Data\Microsoft\Templates

1) create an WORKBOOK_OPEN() macro.
2) Use the RECORDMACRO method to record everything typed by user.
3) create a macro to close and save the excel file when exit excel.
DONE. You can then edit the macro recorded to see what had been typed by the user.
