MS Office Forum / Excel / New Users / November 2006Find and Replace problem
hello all... first... thanks to all who offer their expertise..... this group has been a wonderful asset. My problem.... a few weeks ago I built a spreadsheet whereby I could enter time quickly by simply typing, say, 12.45 and the spreadsheet would automatically replace the . with a : on the fly. I set that find/replace routine up so that I could use the number pad to enter the times on the fly. Now, no matter what spreadsheet I open it will replace the period with a colon. And for the life of me I can't figure out/remember how I set it up or how to make it stop..... aaarrrggghh! Help.. thanks to all glen If you say that you're having it change "on-the-fly", then you probably used (are using) "Auto Correct". <Tools> <AutoCorrect> And find the period (.) that's being replaced with the colon (:) and delete it. If I were you, I would use 2 dots (..), and have them replaced with the colon, so that you wouldn't have to go and change it back every time. It's just as easy to hit 2 decimals when you're adept at 10-key.
