find all / replace all used in a selected range

I feel sorry for you, but you should have noted that your selection was
cleared after you pressed Find All button, leaving the whole sheet open for
Replace All operation.

Good luck,

goal:
to replace part of cell contents of a selection.

procedu
1.) selection of the desired range of the worksheet.
2.) opening edit \replace tab
3.) filling the fields find and replace
4.) pressig FIND ALL button to check if the cells proposed for change are
the desired ones results in a list of cells of the selected range
fullfilling the search condition.

5.) pressing REPLACE ALL does however now repalce all instances IN THE
WHOLE WORKSHEET

I did not now this and lost large amount of work as there was no undo
afterwards .
PAY ATTENTION:
Pressing the function REPLACE ALL does not automaticly restrict to the
list what the FIND ALL did list !

What do I wrong ??

Thanks for help
Tom
