No, I wouldn't claim to be that witty. I do think it funny to go thru the
procedure you describe to do a search. Perhaps you can give an serious
example of what Excel can't find that this convoluted procedure can.??

I am not sure if you are being facetious. I believe Search and Replace to
be
the one area where Word is much more powerful than Excel.

I would do this via Word. Copy the column to Word. Use Edit, Replace in
Word
to remove numbers that are not bold. Copy the remaining numbers to a
different column in Excel and add.
