Default Hightlight cells that contain special characters

Hi there, I have a spreadsheet containing first & last names (columns A & B),
up to 10,000 rows and some of the names contain 'foreign' characters - such
as é.

I would like to be able to hightlight all cells that contain a non-standard
character (ie: A-Z, a-z, 0-9) which will allow our admin team to eailly
filter and correct before the data is loaded into the system.

I've been trying to create a macro for this but I can't seem to get a
formula together to include for all the possible special characters.

I'm ok with excel but by no means a whizz, if anyone can offer any advice I
would be most grateful.

Best regards,

Gareth
