Default delete a keyword from cells

"Total" is the last word in each cell. How do I get rid of it?

Say the cells are in column A, in an un-used column enter:

=SUBSTITUTE(A1,"Total","") and copy down

You could also use a macro to do the same thing "in place"

Select the range to fix
Edit|replace
what: Total
with: (leave blank)
replace all

And I bet you want a space character in front of that Total string.
