Problem with Find and Replace
 
In Excel 2003, when using Find and Replace it cannot "find" anything. If I
just use Find and change the "Look in" to values it works, but when I cahnge
to Replace, the only option in "Look in" is Formulas!

If you type a constant into a cell, then that constant is treated as a formula
in this situation.

But to do edit|replace, it doesn't make sense to look in Values to make changes.

If you have:

asdf in A1
qwer in B1
and
=a1&b1 in C1

Then you'll see asdfqwer in C1.

If you do edit|replace (dfqw with ZZZZ), what should happen?
