I know how to find and replace, the problem, based on the question is that in
older versions of Excel, you could find and replace on "selected" cells. In
2007, it now replaces every occurance of the "Find" in the entire
sheet/workbook. I need to be able to find and replace in just selected cells
NOT the whole worksheet.

I cannot replicate your problem unless I have OptionsWithinWorkbook
selected.

Try with Worksheet selected in Options after selecting a range of cells.

It still does it. Under options with either sheet, or workbook selected it
still changes all occurances in the current sheet. I can't find anywhere
else to change a setting to only change in selected cells.

I know of no setting that would find/replace an entire worksheet rather than
just the selected cells.

With the exception of a setting of "Workbook" as already stated.
