    Find First Instance of Word and Copy to Cell Depending on Other Cell Value

    On Sheet1 I want to find the first instance of one of these four words exactly (Big, Small, Fat, Thin) in Column B only. Once found, it needs to look two cells directly to the right of where it is found and if the cell equals what's in C1 then paste the letter "H" and the number directly to the left of where the word is found into sheet3 cell A3. It also needs to know that if two cells directly to the right of where it is found equals what's in cell D1 then paste the letter "A" and the number directly to the left of where the word is found also into sheet3 cell A3.
