The contents of my spreadsheet have an * at the beginning of the text in
several of the cells (i.e. *Doe, John). When I attempt to do a Find&Replace
specifying "*" as the find and "" as the replace, it simply wipes out
everything. Is it possible to specify * as text and not as a wildcard? Or
is it possible to create a macro that does the same thing? Any
suggestions/hints, etc. would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,

Steve Stringham
