Win XPPro, Office 2003
I want to use either Ctrl+F or set up a parameter query to search my
spreadsheet.
My question is how do I tell excel to search the entire workbook, not
just the active sheet?
Thanks for your help from this inexperienced user

You can also use Options Within: Workbook to do the same thing without the
danger of selecting all worksheets.
