Interrupt find and replace
When using the find and replace feature for an entire sheet, does anyone know
if there is a way to interrupt the process? I made a mistake in the replace value and now I have to either crash my excel or hit the "ESC" key after Excel attempts to replace each entry. |

Interrupt find and replace
AFAIK your only other option is to kill the Excel session (assuming that
you have saved recently enough for this to be a time savings). This extremely unfriendly aspect of the interface has been pointed out to the design team by more than one MVP. Perhaps a future version will handle the situation more gracefully.
