Default Despite data existing in Excel 2002 spreadsheet Find doesn't find

In Excel 2002 spreadsheet, despite data existing, using the Find function
does not find the data. All options appear to be set correctly. Can anyone
give me some ideas on why the data is not being found?

you may have some formatting probs with your data. To test it try
copying a cell of your data into the find box - it should find that.
You may have a space or some rogue thing in your data.
Check also that you are not accidentally selecting (highlighting) a
column or row that the data is not in.
