Miri,

You could limit your code to the used range instead of the entire worksheet.
Try this and note that I've added a space either side of your string. The
reason for this is if your string was 'add' it would remove the 'add' from
'Haddock'.

Sub stantial()
Sheets("Sheet1").UsedRange.Select
mystr = " xxxx "
For Each cell In Selection
If InStr(1, cell.Value, mystr, 1) 0 Then
cell.Replace What:=mystr, Replacement:=""
End If
Next cell
End Sub
