    Can't find name with Name Manager. Duplicate Name error when duplicating sheet.

    I need to make several copies of the worksheet "BLANK" in my file, but when I [Right Click] [Move or Copy Worksheet] I get the following error:

    A formula or sheet you want to copy contains the name '_Sort', which already exists on the destination worksheet.....

    I have opened the Name Manager and this name (is it a range?) does not show up there. How else can I find out what cell(s) it is in?

    Thank you kindly!

    Re: Can't find name with Name Manager. Duplicate Name error when duplicating sheet.

    _Sort is a hidden name refering to $A$51:$O$200 on sheet Blank.

    Unhide all names:

    Here are two macros that I have come across in the past. The first unhides hidden names and the second will delete hidden names.
