Excel/VBA - Deleting a string of character in

a range of cells
In the case you want to delete a word in a sentence, just create a small macro
that removes the word. But it will become difficult when you have word like, for
example, "Theword" or "THEWORD" or "theword" . Each of these word are
different, but contains the same characters. This little macro solves this problem.
Option Explicit
Option Compare Text

Sub DeleteWord()
Dim Cel As Range, Range As Range
Dim Word As String
Set Range = Range("B2:B20") '.
Word = "Theword"
Application.ScreenUpdating = False
For Each Cel In Range
If Cel Like "*" & Word & "*" Then
Cel = Replace(Cel, Word, "")
'To remove the double space that follows ..
Cel = Replace(Cel, " ", " ")
End If
Next Cel
Application.ScreenUpdating = True
End Sub
