I cannot figure out how to change the column headings that are displayed in
the search results dialog box when using Find All. Is there a way to change
the column headings so it will display what we need to see? Thanks for your
time!

I don't think you can change that dialog.
You could write your own routine to search and display whatever you need.

Thanks Dave, I was afraid of that. I'm something of a novice when it comes
to Excel, so I apologize for my ignorance in advance even while I ask for
more of your help.
How would I write my own routine to search and display?
Again, thank you!

Instead of guessing, what do you want to display?

I have a spreadsheet of approximately 2,000+ publications my staff needs to
quickly search to locate the appropriate publication to answer our clients'
phone questions. There is a lot of information included in the spreadsheet
that the staff doesn't need displayed and, of course, THAT is the information
that shows in the Find All results! What I'd like to do is select 4-5
columns of information within my spreadsheet to display when they do a Find
All search. They only need the publication name, number, cost, and
occasionally the publisher, of the publication. I have no problem changing
the column order (if that makes any difference) in my spreadsheet.
When I do a Find All search it now displays the name of the book (don't need
displayed), sheet (don't need displayed), name (which comes up blank), cell
(I don't care if this is displayed or not), and value (the content of a
column I have named Keywords).
Too much information? I truly do appreciate any help you can pass along.

I'm guessing that you'll be searching in a single column and wanting to see 4-5
columns that are always the same column.
If that's true, you may be able to get by just by using Data|Filter|autofilter.
You can filter the publication column to show just what their looking for.
You'll see all the columns that way.
If that doesn't work for you, you'll have to share what columns to search (like
column A) and what columns to show (like B & C, E, J, L).
