Default Replace function not working properly in Excel 2000 SP3

Whenever I attempt to use the "*" option in Excel, I use to be able to place
this in the replace with field to keep the same data as reference followed or
preceeded by the noted change. Example:
Smith, Carol
Jones, Cathy
Williams, Bill

Find: *,_
Replace with: *;_
to get:
Smith; Carol
Jones; Cathy
Williams; Bill

Now it just replaces all my data with an "*" and it looks like this:
*;
*;
*;

Has anyone experienced this or have a different solution?
