Default Find/REplace from table questions...

I found most of the answers I needed in this post:
http://groups.google.com/group/micro...219aa2adb07dd7

Thanks Barry-Jon for this code:
___________________________

Sub MultiFindReplace()

Dim rngReplaceWith As Excel.Range
Dim rngSearchArea As Excel.Range
Dim lngRepaceCount As Long

Set rngReplaceWith = GetUserRange("Please select find/replace
values range (two columns)")

If Not rngReplaceWith Is Nothing Then

'basic range size validation - a lot more could be done
If rngReplaceWith.Columns.Count = 2 Then

'now get the area in which to do the find/replace
Set rngSearchArea = GetUserRange("Please select the range
in which to find/replace")

If Not rngSearchArea Is Nothing Then

'do the search and replace
For lngRepaceCount = 1 To rngReplaceWith.Rows.Count

rngSearchArea.Replace
What:=rngReplaceWith.Cells(lngRepaceCount, 1).Value, _

Replacement:=rngReplaceWith.Cells(lngRepaceCount, 2).Value, _
MatchCase:=False, _
ReplaceFormat:=False

Next lngRepaceCount

End If

Else

MsgBox "Invalid find/replace range selected", vbExclamation
+ vbOKOnly

End If

End If

End Sub

Private Function GetUserRange(Prompt As String, Optional Title As
String = "Input") As Excel.Range

On Error GoTo ErrorHandler

Dim retVal As Excel.Range

Set retVal = Application.InputBox(Prompt, Title, , , , , , 8)

ExitProc:
Set GetUserRange = retVal
Exit Function

ErrorHandler:
Set retVal = Nothing
Resume ExitProc

End Function

________________________________________________
The questions I have:
Question 1:
How can I make this macro do the "Match Entire Cell Contents" that is
available in the Replace menu option?
I tried just adding the condition MatchEntireCellContents:=True but
that wasn't an acceptable condition.

Question 2:
Is there a way to reverse the 2 columns in the Find/Replace range? By
that I mean, can I make it so that Column 2 in the range is the find
value and column 1 is the replace value?
