Default Replacing wild card characters in EXCEL

I have an excel file that contains * in some of the cells (it was use
to denote specifics about a person, and is entered as *Smith).

I can not use find/replace to remove it because it is a wildcard, and
it removes everything in the column. I can not find anywhere to
change the wildcards.

Has anyone solved this?

Thank you

Bob
