Remove ÿ
Excel XP, Win XP
A friend has a file that has a number of the subject "ÿ" (without the quotes) in many cells and wants to remove them. I tried Edit - Replace and tried to paste the "ÿ" into the Replace box but that didn't work. How can he remove these "ÿ"s? Thanks for your time. Otto |

That's a new one on me. I guess MS doesn't give us any damping.
