Should the search and replace facility work when there are hidden codes in the text? I have attempted to replace a repeated set of two cells consisting of a dot 6 in the first cell and a dot 2 in the second. I tried several times without success and then revealed the codes. There was a [te] embedded between the two cells. Presumably this was stopping me from doing the replace. Replace worked fine for dot 6 [te] dot 2.
