Replace first * with a space in a description
 

We have a number of items that we have in our inventory that are overstocked.
We want to highlight them by removing the spaces and replacing them
asteriks. Now we want to replace the first * that is in that description
with a space instead.The first asterik may appear as the 3rd charactor or up
to the 12th charactor in the product description.
Is there a formula there that I can use. as an example;

Bubble*Gum*Grape*Flavor*****12*pack (as it is now)
Bubble Gum*Grape*Flavor*****12*pack (the way I would like it to read)

Replace first * with a space in a description
 

=LEFT(A1,FIND("*",A1,1)-1)&" "&MID(A1,FIND("*",A1,1)+1,99)

I used to work with a couple of young guys (in their 40's when they had their
surgeries) that used to talk about cabbage stuff.

Both are still doing well after 5-10 years.
