Default How do I abbreviate words?

I am a data modeller and I need to abbreviate business names into column
names. I have multiple words in a cell that I have to abbreviate by looking
against a dictionary

For example I have Invoice Amount and it needs to be abbreviated to inv_amt.
I have a worksheet containing 2 columns one with the abbreviation and other
with the complete word.

How do I write a macro to convert a long list of business names in to
abbreviated column names? Any advice is appreciated

Regards
