Default Renaming Invalid Defined Names

Hi
I'm using Excel 2003 and would like to know if the following is possible.

Some of the spreadsheets used in the office started life in Lotus 1-2-3 and
now contain loads of defined names! I can remove most of the names but some
are a bit more tricky as they contain characters such as %, $, & and even
squares.

Reading through past threads I have figured out that by switching to R1C1
notation through the Tools, Options, General tab I can rename the invalid
ones. So I use Application.ReferenceStyle = xlR1C1 to switch over and then
the Name Conflict dialog box is displayed and I'm able to enter new names
(one at a time) for each of the invalid ones. What I would like to do is
automate the renaming of the invalid names in the Name Conflict dialog box
to Junk1, Junk2 etc.

Is this possible???

Many thanks
Preeti
