Hello,
Was wondering if any of you lovely people can help me out at all. I have a workbook which I use for scheduling purposes; Sheet1 is Sunday, Sheet2 is Monday etc. Each sheet is set up like this:
[TABLE="width: 500"]
<tbody>[TR]
[TD]Name[/TD]
[TD]Start[/TD]
[TD][/TD]
[TD]Finish[/TD]
[TD]Notes[/TD]
[/TR]

[TD]Boots Paul[/TD]
[TD]10:00[/TD]
[TD]-[/TD]
[TD]14:00[/TD]
[TD][/TD]

[TD]Collins William[/TD]
[TD]12:00[/TD]

[TD]18:00[/TD]

[TD]Smith Scott[/TD]

[TD]Thompson Simon[/TD]
[TD]18:30[/TD]
[TD]-[/TD]
[TD]22:30[/TD]
[TD][/TD]
[/TR]
</tbody>[/TABLE]
When a colleague is on holiday for the entire week I use the find all function under the edit menu and search for their name, e.g Smith Scott. When the results are returned I click on each one in turn and select the row it appears in and apply the strike-through effect. I also write Holiday in the Notes column.
I was wondering if there was a process I could use to find every instance where a specified name appears in a workbook, apply the strike-through effect to the row it appears in and insert 'Holiday' in the Notes column instead of doing it manually one by one?
Any assistance will be greatly received, Thank you.
