Removing Asterisks from the contents of a cell

[StarRider]

Any ideas on how I can remove asterisks from the contents of a cell. Knowing
the Asterisk is a wild card and does not behave like other characters when
using "Find & Replace"

Use a tilde (the key to the left of the 1 on most keyboards) in front of the
asterisk, like so: ~*
That tips off Excel that you really want to deal with the asterisk as a
character and not a wild card.

Good luck.
