Bloated Workbook

I have a large workbook that contains many reports used regularly.
I always use named ranges throughout the workbook.
Over the years I suspect there are many named ranges that are no longer used by any of the current reports.

Is there any way of seeing (macro or otherwise) whether a named range is used by anything in the workbook (i.e. Pivot Table, Chart, Vlookup, Other Formulas etc)?
I would rather avoid deleting a named range one at a time, and then checking the entire workbook to see if every report is still working.
Thanks in advance.
 

Excel Facts

Copy formula down without changing references
If you have =SUM(F2:F49) in F50; type Alt+' in F51 to copy =SUM(F2:F49) to F51, leaving the formula in edit mode. Change SUM to COUNT.
Will they show up if you search for them with Ctrl+F?

This works off and on for me when looking for formulas that refrrence certain sheets - not sure what success you'll have looking for named ranges.
