Default Need Help Editing Cells

I'd just slap a filter on it... data\autofilter

Then select "contains" then enter honda.
Then just copy Honda into all the filtered rows

Then undo that filter, and do it again
This time select "does not contain" then enter Honda

Then just delete all the contents of those cells

Remove the filter, and you're done.

I am using W XP and Excel 2003. I have an XLS file that was created
from a CSV file. Column D of the Xls file containd a great deal of data
that is still comma seperated. For example a row may have Ford, Chevy,
Dodge... Another row in the same column may have Dodge, Honda,
Toyota...

What I want to do is delete the contents of any cell in Column D that
does not contain Honda. Any cell that does contain Honda should have
any other data deleted except for Honda.

Thanks for any and all help.
