Are there other ways? Are your concerns with efficiency because it's slow to tag all those cells by hand, or that you think that NotebookFind[] takes to long to find them? If it's the latter, you've got quite a few other options, also based on NotebookFind[], which can search based on contents or style as well. I've found it useful to come up special styles when I want to do this sort of thing, so that the cells stand out visually as well. You can also use NotebookGet[] to get the Notebook[] object itself, and use the standard Matheamtica tools for searching and pattern-matching to find the cells you're looking for. If you want more specific advice, you'll probably need to explain what these cells are and why you need to find them in more detail. Cheers, Pillsy
