Brad,
If you sort the spreadsheet by coordinates, you should have the largest XY coordinate
at the top or bottom depending on the sort order. Presumably it would be a larger XY
coordinate. Does this help?
Cheers,

Bruce,
yes easily said, I have tried that, any suggestion on how to find
it. It is quite a huge spreadsheet and the numbers are not search worthy
because they contain "XXXXXXmils" for the coordinate figures. Also, the
items seem to be a part of my land patterns because some component land
patterns are selected when I select outside area. Therefore there seems to
be no guarantee that anything will list as being outside a certain area.
