Sorry if this is a bit simple but can anybody suggest a way to help me find a cell with an unwanted link without having to scroll through cells looking for it? I use a particular set of spreadsheets on an annual basis and simply change the data in the previous years and rename them as the current year. Even although I think I have been careful to overwrite all cells with formulas in them I still see the link to last years files in Edit Links and have to scroll through worksheet after worksheet and cell after cell before I find the unwanted link. Often in a cell I have used for calculation for the main body of the report and forgotten about :(
My aching mouse finger would greatly appreciate your help.

Is there a shortcut key for strikethrough?
Ctrl+S is used for Save. Ctrl+5 is used for Strikethrough. Why Ctrl+5? When you use hashmarks to count |||| is 4, strike through to mean 5.
I had this question myself yesterday - the simplest and best answer then was use Edit-Find and search for .xls or [ and then Find next etc

Much appreciated Bisley. I was hoping there was a command to find cells with a defined link but who said the world was perfect never mind Microsoft. Your suggestion will certainly speed things up :)
