Maybe you could use a formula instead of the edit|Find.

Say your data is in Columns A:E and you were looking for Ben in any cell in that
range, you could use a formula like this:

=if(countif(a1:e1,"Ben")0,"Ben","")
and drag down

This formula will count the cell only if Ben is the only thing in that cell. If
Ben is in that cell with other stuff like "Benny and June", you could use a
different formula:

=if(countif(a1:E1,"*ben*")0,"Ben","")
and drag down

Does anyone know how I can paste the find all into a new column in the same
corasponding row number? I did a copy from the "Findfind all" list by right
clicking the list then do "copy". Those cells (non-adjacent cells) get
highlighted but when I past it in the next column to the same row it pastes
the list in order not in the correct cell. Must I use formulas to do this and
if so which formula? HELPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPP!
