    Ctrl Find Doesn't Find Words in Xls

    I want to look up certain words in an xls that contains many words and their definitions, but when I, CTRL Find a word that I clearly see in the xls, Excel tells me that it can't find the data I'm looking for. Is there something going on with my formatting? The xls wasn't created by me.
