Am using MS Excel XP (2002). All I want to do is make a short macro to, in
effect, press F2 (to EDIT the cell), then let's say delete the first
character of the cell and change it to let's say X, like this...
Before:
_Mary Jones
*Joe Smith
%Peter Rabbbit
After:
XMary Jones
XJoe Smith
XPeter Rabbbit
I just want to put the cursor on a given cell, click CNTL-A to run the
macro, and have it change ONE cell AT A TIME. There are reasons why I can't
use the search and replace.
The problem is... if I record the macro (turn it on, press the key
sequences, F2, Home, Delete, X, GoDownOneCell, turn it off), it puts "XMary
Jones" in ALL the cells, like this:
After:
XMary Jones
XMary Jones
XMary Jones
For some reason, I think it has a problem with F2 key. Would appreciate any
suggestions, thanks, George.
