I need to find a string on a worksheet and change the formatting so it stands
out. That's easy. Actually, I want to find a bunch of strings on all
worksheets in a workbook. I recorded a macro that does the find and replace.
I selected the "options" button on the find and replace dialog box and
changed the "within" to "Workbook". Did the replace and it worked great.

However, the macro does NOT contain the code to change the option from
Worksheet to workbook! :-(

I imagine it's a one liner. Any idea what that is?

While you were recoding the macro after you click on replace (or find)
did you click on option the select 'within workbook' ?

For example.....

Dim mySht As Worksheet

For Each mySht In Worksheets
mySht.Cells.Replace What:="Test", Replacement:="Fill", LookAt:=xlPart, _
SearchOrder:=xlByRows, MatchCase:=False, SearchFormat:=False, _
ReplaceFormat:=False
Next mySht
