changing the default type of searching in the find function
Saved from a previous post:
Excel tries to help by remembering the last settings you used--except for the first search in that session. You can use that to your advantage. You could make a dummy workbook and put it in your xlStart folder. Have a macro in that workbook that does a find (and sets all the stuff the way you like). Then closes and gets out of the way. Option Explicit Sub auto_open() Worksheets("sheet1").Cells.Find What:="", After:=ActiveCell, _ LookIn:=xlFormulas, _ LookAt:=xlWhole, SearchOrder:=xlByColumns, _ SearchDirection:=xlNext, MatchCase:=True ThisWorkbook.Close savechanges:=False End Sub The workbook opens, does a find (to fix your settings) and then closes to get out of the way. If you're new to macros, you may want to read David McRitchie's intro at: http://www.mvps.org/dmcritchie/excel/getstarted.htm Jose Roberto wrote: When I try to search something in Excel 2003 the default LOOK IN type is FORMULAS.
