Excel VBA Range Scope for Find/Replace

Greetings,

I am interested in doing a Find/Replace on a specific range.
Controlling the scope to Worksheet vs Workbook seems to be my issue.

Doing a regular replace produces inconsistent results:
Selection.Replace _
what:="abc", Replacement:="xxx", _
LookAt:=xlPart, SearchOrder:=xlByRows, MatchCase:=False, _
SearchFormat:=False, ReplaceFormat:=False

The WB/WS scope appears to be dependent on the previous Find/Replace
i.e. if I did a WB replace, the next VBA Find/Replace will also be for the entire WB.

How do I change and control the scope?


Thanks,

Copy a format multiple times
Select a formatted range. Double-click the Format Painter (left side of Home tab). You can paste formatting multiple times. Esc to stop
Put this before your replace code
Code:
   Range("A1").Find ("@@@")
