Assume the phrase is in cell B2.
Sub sk()
extr = Mid(Range("B2").Value, InStr(Range("B2"), "like"), 4)
MsgBox extr
End Sub
Or since you know the phrase, you could simply count the characters,
including the spaces.
extr = Mid(Range("B2").Value, 3 , 4)

Hi all,
How to select a single word from a cell in Excel 2007?
Example: I like to eat chicken rice at the restaurant.
The statement is placed in a single cell. So, if I highlight the "like"
word, how do I get it using vb codes? Thanks.
ps: I'm using VsTO, visual studio 2005, excel 2007.
