CTRL + a(twice in 2003) to select all.

F5>Special>Constants.

Select the Constants to find....numbers? and OK

Hi Gord D,
Thanks for this help, this did remove the data w/o removing the formulas but
it did insert a #DIV/0 error in each cell.

In that case, you will have to re-write those formulas to trap the error and
produce a result like 0 or blank.
