    Remove a word from a series of cells

    I need to remove the word "Total" from 492 cells. It is at the end of every cell. How can I do this? I tried text to columns, but I can't isolate the word. I am using Office 2010.

    Example

    Total Ins Weeks Total
    Town Total
    Transfer Sheet of Previous Labour Agency Total
    Transport Allowance Total
    Type of Contract Total
    Type of Contract (Permanent/Temporary) Total
    Type of Medical Scheme Total
    Unemployment Card Total


    Thanks,
    Jennifer

    Good evening jah72773

    Why not use the find and replace function? You can find "Total" and replace with "".
    You don't need the quotes, by the way. Just leave the replace box empty.

    Oh, my gosh! I am an idiot. Why didn't I think of that?
