    Adding a space to text in multiple cells

    Is there a way to edit the text in multiple cells without have to go thru and edit the whole workbook?
    ie 1:30a to 1:30 am

    Any help would be greatly appreciated

    Sorry to be a bone head. But I have pasted into a new cell and replaced the originating cel
    =Substitute(A1,"0a","0 am")
    =Substitute(B10,"0a","0 am") Still not working.
    What am I missing?

    Select the cells, go to Find, enter 1:30a, then Replace 1:30 am, then click All.
