Return Value
Type: System::Booleantrue if the specified characters are in cells within the NamedRange control; otherwise, false.
Using this method does not change either the selection or the active cell.
The settings for LookAt, SearchOrder, MatchCase, and MatchByte are saved each time you use this method. If you do not specify values for these arguments the next time you call the method, the saved values are used. Setting these arguments changes the settings in the Find dialog box, and changing the settings in the Find dialog box changes the saved values that are used if you omit the arguments. To avoid problems, set these arguments explicitly each time you use this method.

The following code example sets the value of the cells in a NamedRange control to the string "This is a sentence.", and then uses the Replace method to replace the substring "a" with "my".
This example is for a document-level customization.
