Change character in Excel

Does anyone happen to know if it's possible to change a character in every cell of Excel all at once? For example, in Quark and other applications you can run something like the following to change every character of "a" to "b":

------------------------------------------------------
Tell app "Quarkxpress(tm)"
tell story 1 of text box 1 of document 1
set every character where it is "a" to "b"
end tell
end tell
-----------------------------------------------------

The only way I've figured so far is to run every cell through a repeat loop. Just curious if there's a quicker way. Thanks for your help.

Jay
