I don't work much with Excels, or try not to, because they annoy me, and it sounds like a stupid question, but how do I do a word search in an Excel 2010 document?

SITE LOCALIZER
I use a FR localized version of my Office, and it is irritating the way some Ctrl+ shortcuts work as normal, but some have been 'translated'.
If you look in the 'Edit' menu, surely it will tell you what the keyboard shortcut is for Search (without replace!)?
If it really doesn't, can you not try assigning your Ctrl+B (buscar?) shortcut to the function, and that might tell you what is already assigned to it ...

Thanks Tony,
Maybe I've gone completely mad, but I did check on the tabs that it was Ctrl + B and Ctrl + L, and then tried Ctrl + B again, and now it WORKS. Was it there all along? Who knows.
