Guy, Yes, and this is quite common practice. These are called Initialization Cells. Select the cells that you want initialized and then use Alt CRI, or Menu/Cell/Cell Properties/Initialization Cell. When you first save the notebook, after doing that, Mathematica will ask you if you want to create an AutoSave Package. Answer NO. (AutoSave packages are for notebooks that contain package code, a different purpose.) Then you never have to directly evaluate these cells. Each time you open the notebook, and start to evaluate some cell, Mathematica will ask if you want to first evaluate all the initialization cells. You answer yes and all the initialization cells will be evaluated. In the Option Inspector, Notebook Options, Evaluation Options you can modify this behavior.

What I meant is there a way to press a button (or write a code) so that specific cells will be entered (shift-enter) at the beginning of the notebook? I don't want to go through each cell and shift-enter it. Thanks in advance, Guy
