Thanks Tom.

Probably a mistake to go that way. Using Replace will
be much, much faster

Public Sub ChangeAll()
varr = Array("City", "Roskill", "Papakura", "Wiri", _
"North Shore", "Orewa", "Swanson", "Panmure", _
"Waiheke")
varr1 = Array("1-City", "2-Rosk", "3-Papa", "4-Wiri", _
"5-Shor", "7-Swan", "8-Panm", "9-Waih")

for i = lbound(varr) to ubound(varr)
Columns(1).Replace What:=varr(i), _
Replacement = varr1(i), _
Lookat:=xlWhole, SearchOrder:=xlByRows, _
MatchCase:=False
Next
End Sub

This assumes the content of the cells to be changed
contain only one of the
test words. (not every cell in column A).

How about:

Option Explicit
Private Sub Worksheet_Change(ByVal Target As Range)

Dim myCell As Range

On Error GoTo ws_exit
Application.EnableEvents = False
For Each myCell In Target.Cells
If UCase(Left(myCell.Text, 4)) = "CITY" Then
myCell.Value = "1-City"
End If
Next myCell

ws_exit:
Application.EnableEvents = True
End Sub

Hello from Steved. Please is the below possible.
The below VBA will allow me to type City and it will
change to 1-City. Can the below be taken one step
further,
I copy from Paradox then paste into excel worksheet
which
has the below VBA. Is it possible when I paste it
from
Paradox into the excel worksheet it will find City
then
change it to 1_City.

Thankyou.

Private Sub Worksheet_Change(ByVal Target As Range)
Application.EnableEvents = False
On Error GoTo ws_exit
With Target
Select Case UCase(Left(.Value, 4))
Case "CITY": .Value = "1-City"
End Select
End With

ws_exit:
Application.EnableEvents = True
End Sub
