    How to find "***" in a column

    Hi again...

    I want to find cells which contain text "***", and when I use normal FIND command (ctrl+F), it marks all the cells, one by one! Why?
    How can I look for the cells which really only contain three asteriscs?

    An asterisk is a wild card - ie anything

    To search literally use: ~*~*~*
    (ie precede wildcard with tilde)
