Flexfind v5.3, build 588 (27 Oct 2015, Downloaded: 48,527 times) See Screenshot
Flexfind eases searching throughout an entire workbook. Enter a string to search for and get a list of all found locations. Click on an entry to go there. Select workbook, sheet or range searching. Replace with another string in the found items you select. At your wish, get a confirmation for each occurrence found (also within one cell). MAC enabled (thanks to Matthew Henson). Ever needed to replace a company name in the title of 25 charts? Or replace just the third occurrence of a cell address in some cells' formulas? Or change a part of the printheader of 6 sheets? Now there is Flexfind, which enables Search and Replace in all these items and more!!!

Flexfind should work. But you must check the "Objects" checkbox on its dialog before starting the search.

Hope you're keeping well
Does Flexfind work with 64-bit machines, please?
Many thanks

Long time no "see"! Hope you're doing well. I am.
Yes it should work on 64 bit Office.

How odd, my Excel does not complain. Which version of Office are you using?

Thanks for letting me know. It does not for me and my anti-virus does not find it problematic either (ESET SMart Security latest version).
