Default Help with IF

Hello,

I need to capture text from cell D2 (example only) if cell D1 contains
"abc", otherwise use the text from D1. I am able to do this with the
following formula:
(IF(ISERR(FIND("abc",D1,1)),D1,D2)

I would like to expand this now so that if D1 contains either "abc", "def",
"ghi", "jkl", or ""mno", I capture the text in D2, else use the text from D1.
Is this possible? I have fiddled with the original by strining the
additional requirements on and can get Excel to accept the formula as
"correct" but not accomplish what I need to do.

Thank you,
Tom
