Keep find box open while in spreadsheet
 

Hi...
I was wondering how I can keep my find box open while I am entering and
editing data in my spreadsheet. It is very frustrating to have to
continually select the find option, type in what I want to find, close the
window, do any changes or calcs, and then reopen to find the next. I am using
Excel 2000.

HELP!!!!!

It's programmed that way. You can't change it. However, the CTRL-F keyboard
shortcut might try your patience less than the Edit, Find menu method.

I don't think you can keep it open-shortcut is Ctrl+F

I know I have been able to do it while working at a different company.
Anyone know if this changes for more recent versions of 2000?

Hi

If you know a litttle VBA, build your own modeless Find - Replace dialog,
and add "find all", "search by format" and other cool features to it too.
Not only very useful, it's also great fun to do.

Best wishes Harald

Yes. Excel XP and Excel 2003 can do that.

HTH. Best wishes Harald
