Default Append Text to Cell Values Using Replace

Hi,
I've tried to search all the posts to see if anyone has run across this
before but couldn't find one. So here goes my question :-)
I'd like to be able to append some additional string (let's say "Hello ") to
the contents of a range of cells, regardless of what they were. For EX, if a
cell was "Linda", now it is "Hello Linda" etc.
What I've done in the past is to put a formular in the next cell (let's say
B1) that says ="Hello " & A1. That works but it's becoming quite time
consuming after a while.
I'd like to use just the "Replace" function and replace whatever in those
cells with "Hello " & Whatever. I tried to replace * with Hello* but that
didn't work. Excel ended up replacing all my cells with Hello* (the
asterisk, literally).
Please help!
Thanks!
