Hi,

Using excel 2003, does anyone know the keystroke to repeat a text find there
without opening the find dialog box repeatedly?

Yes. After you use the find command ctrl+f for the first time and escape out of the dialog,you can then use ctrl+y to repeat the find again and again. Be forewarned, though: after you get to the last occurrence of the string that you're looking for, ctrl+y will take you back to the first occurrence of the string.
