But that left me with about 880 entries with:

I also tried find and replace using <*> for find and a empty replace field but I get the "Formula is too long" error message.Please Login or Register to view this content.

For future reference, please not crosspost your question on multiple forums without including links here to the other threads on other forums[/B].
Cross-posting is when you post the same question in other forums on the web. The last thing you want to do is waste people's time working on an issue you have already resolved elsewhere. We prefer that you not cross-post at all, but if you do (and it's unlikely to go unnoticed), you MUST provide a link (copy the url from the address bar in your browser) to the cross-post.
Expect cross-posted questions without a link to be closed and a message will be posted by the moderator explaining why. We are here to help so help us to help you!
Read this to understand why we ask you to do this, and then please edit your first post to include links to any and all cross-posts in any other forums (not just this site).

However, I have another issue, albeit this one sound a bit easier to solve.
For some of the descriptions, I'm now left with ####### hashtags all the way across. However, when I go to click on it, the entire description appears on the formula bar?
I tried enlarging the rows/columns, per Google, but that didn't help.
Hummm
D10, D16, D41,,, appears only "###.." in the formula bar when I open it with Excel....
Ok I figured it out. I just switched the Format from Text to General and that fixed it. Thanks again for your guys' help!
OK then...
If that takes care of your original question, please select Thread Tools from the menu link above and mark this thread as SOLVED. Thanks.
