Default How to find *,@,#,$,&,^ ??????

I need to find and replace certain special cherecters like
*,@,#,$,&,%,^ etc and replace them with some reguler text. The problem
is that being special cherector VBA acts as if these are commands or
wild cherecters (like find vba.* will find allfiles with vba with any
extension)
Any workaround?
Please, I need it badly.
Regards,
