Why is "TargetTitle" the default Find What text in Find or Replace. It is
especially annoying when using replace because the cursor is put in the
Replace With field. Why would I want to find "TargetTitle"? Is there any
way to change this?

Blank is the default, I don't know what you are talking about?

Not when I open Find or Replace; I get "TargetTitle" (no quotes) in the Find
What field.
I am using Office 2003, SP 2. This occurs in only Excel, not Word or
PowerPoint.

Excel will remember the last parms that were used Find/Replace--either manually
or in code.

Excel will forget those parms when you close and reopen excel.

If you see that "targettitle" in the first manual Edit|Find/Replace, then I bet
you have a macro that's looking for that when you open excel--maybe in an
addin???

If you want to find the culprit, you can do some detective work to find out what
workbook/addin owns the code that's causing the trouble.

I searched the entire C:\drive and found TargetTitle in a file related to
S-Plus. I disabled the S-Plus add-in in Excel and now it's fine: the Find
What field is blank.

Thanks for the help.
