My Excel document contains European characters (alphabats with dots etc.,). I want to convert all these alphabats into normal English characters. How can I do this please.

Alternatively, can I be able to ‘search’ for this type of alphabats please? The trouble is, when I search for a text containing these alphabats (with normal English alphabats in the search box), Excel is not finding these in my document.

Thanks for your help in advance,

Srinivas

I never knew that. I've had occasions where I needed to find one of the special characters, but I never knew how to do it. In fact, I'm not even sure I knew what the special characters for Excel's find were in the first place, other than when I've tried to search for one of them specifically and stumbled across it.</p> Wow.
