Default Selecting used cells only in the workbook

Hi,

Select all the worksheet in your workbook by pressing the Ctrl key and
selecting each worksheet. This will group all the selected worksheet. Then do
the following:

1. On the Edit menu, click Replace.
The Find and Replace dialog box is displayed.
2. In the Find what text box, type the word you want to search in all the
worksheet.
3. In the Replace with text box, type the word you want to replace in all
the worksheet.
4. Click the Replace All button to replace all the replace at one time.
5. Click Close to return to the Worksheet.
6. Right-click on the Sheet tab and select Ungroup Sheets, to ungroup all
the grouped worksheet in the workbook.

Hi

I am using this code for mass replacing...
For Each wsSheet In Worksheets
wsSheet = Application.ActiveSheet
Cells.Select
Selection.Replace What:="*!", Replacement:="=", LookAt:= _
xlPart, SearchOrder:=xlByRows, MatchCase:=False,
SearchFormat:=False, _
ReplaceFormat:=False
Next wsSheet

Is it possible that instead of "Cells.Select" i can use only used cells in
the worksheet or even in the complete workbook to increase the performance??

Thanks,
Sandeep
