    Search a text string to see if it contains a word from a defined list, return that word

    Hi

    A thread with a similar question was posted here:

    http://www.excelforum.com/excel-gene...in-string.html

    However, the output required by that OP was only whether or not the a word from the list was present in the text string or not. Can anyone tell me how I can also return the found word?

    Thanks for considering,
    Jacques
