    Smile find and replace macro in excel 97

    Hi everybody.
    I'm kind of new in this forum and in macros.
    I need a macro to search and replace a word in a sheet.
    I'm using excel 97(I know! but i'm at work and you know the budget problems).
    I greatly appreciate any help.
    thanks in advance.

    The easiest way to start is to record a macro of you searching & replacing.

    Then if you need any modifications to the macro that you don't know how to do, post your code here and explain what you need to be modified.

    Eg: to replace all instances of ALASKA with OHIO:

    Sub SearchAndReplace()
    Cells.Replace What:="ALASKA", Replacement:="OHIO", LookAt:=xlWhole, _
    SearchOrder:=xlByRows, MatchCase:=False
    End Sub

    Change LookAt:=xlWhole to[/B]LookAt:=xlPart and MatchCase:=False to MatchCase:=True as your circumstances warrant.

    ...constantly looking for the smoother pebble while the whole ocean of truth lies before me.
