Having difficulty in applying Book-Level and Sheet-Level Names in
Workbooks.
When I define a name in the Define Name dialog box and I then select
the name in the Name Box, it will select the reference on the worksheet
that I have used to define the name.
If I then move to another worksheet in the same workbook with identical
layout, the name I have defined appears in the Name Box, but when I
select it, it returns to select the reference in the Worksheet where I
made the original definition.
This does not always happen but I cannot find a sure way of defining
names in one worksheet that will always work in other worksheets with
similar layoute.
Any suggestions please.

Names that you type in the name box are by default workbook-level names.
To create sheet-level names, use the sheet reference, e.g.:

   Sheet1!MyName

This can only be done if you haven't defined MyName as a workbook-level
name.
