How do I bulk change the sign (+ or -) in Excel

I have columns of negative numbers that I want to make positive and wondered
if I can do this is one stroke?

Hi

One way is to put -1 in an unused blank cell. Copy it. Select your range
and then Edit/Paste/Special/Multiply.

Andy.
PS Make a backup first!

Thanks Andy, I also found after posting of course, that all I had to do was
use the find and replace (- for a blank).
