I would add a header row, then do data|filter|autofilter on that column.

Use the dropdown arrow

beta

And then delete the visible rows

Then remove the autofilter.

Is there a macro whereby if I have a list, all in one column, but
different rows:

Column A:

Row 1: Alpha Beta Gamma
Row 2: Alpha Alpha Alpha
Row 3: Beta Gamma Gamma
Row 4: Gamma Gamma Alpha

If I wanted to delete all rows in MS Excel that have the word "Beta"
in it, I should be left with:

Alpha Alpha Alpha
Gamma Gamma Alpha

Thanks.

Dave,

Thanks, that sounds like a good idea, especially for a short list.
But my lists are always more than a thousand rows, and, unless I'm
missing a step here, it would take a very long time to delete all
those rows manually, that's why I was trying to find an automated
system.
