find and replace
Does anyone know how to change the default settings of "find and replace"?
My excel defaults to row and formula, I would like it to default to column and value. I can change it for one use, but can't get it to be the default for everytime I open excel. |

Saved from a previous post:
Excel tries to help by remembering the last settings you used--except for the first search in that session. You can use that to your advantage. You could make a dummy workbook and put it in your xlStart folder. Have a macro in that workbook that does a find (and sets all the stuff the way you like). Then closes and gets out of the way. Option Explicit Sub auto_open() Worksheets(1).Cells.Find What:="", After:=ActiveCell, _ LookIn:=xlValues, _ LookAt:=xlPart, SearchOrder:=xlByColumns, _ SearchDirection:=xlNext, MatchCase:=False ThisWorkbook.Close savechanges:=False End Sub The workbook opens, does a find (to fix your settings) and then closes to get out of the way. Change it to match what you need for your settings. If you're new to macros, you may want to read David McRitchie's intro at: http://www.mvps.org/dmcritchie/excel/getstarted.htm But if you do an Edit|Find and change anything, then those changed settings will be remembered.
